Using Deep Learning to Automate Orangutan Nest Detections on Aerial Images Collected With Drones
Traditional orangutan distribution and density monitoring requires costly line transect methods on the ground to detect their nests. Recently researchers have started to use unoccupied aerial vehicles, hereafter referred to as drones, to collect such data faster. However, manually inspecting the images acquired by the drone is time‐consuming and hence costly. This study explored a deep learning method for the automated detection of orangutan nest…
Noninvasive Technologies for Primate Conservation in the 21st Century
Observing and quantifying primate behavior in the wild is challenging. Human presence affects primate behavior and habituation of new, especially terrestrial, individuals is a time-intensive process that carries with it ethical and health concerns, especially during the recent pandemic when primates are at even greater risk than usual. As a result, wildlife researchers, including primatologists, have increasingly turned to new technologies to ans…
Keeping in Touch
Use of technology in health care has risen exponentially in recent years alongside the increased demand for healthcare services. In a climate of rising healthcare costs innovations in the use of technology may provide a cost effective means of interacting with clients. Programmes such as Skype enable sound and video calls between devices. Remote live interactions using Skype could improve the quality of care by increasing the level of accessibili…
