<p>A1658826: </p> <hr /> <div>Group member: Bolun Huang &amp; Yan Chen<br /> <br /> Supervisors: Dr. Danny Gibbins &amp; Dr. Said Al-Sarawi<br /> <br /> In Australia, significant numbers of native wildlife are killed each year by feral cats and foxes. As part of their control<br /> and monitoring, field researchers and park managers are interested in low cost automated sensor systems that<br /> could be placed out in the field to detect the presence of feral cats and possibly even trigger control measures.<br /> The aim of this project is to examine a range of image and signal processing techniques that could be used to reliably<br /> detect the presence of a nearby feral cat or fox and distinguish it from other native animals such as wallabies and<br /> wombats. The possible range of sensors that might be used to achieve this include (but is not limited to) infra-red<br /> imaging cameras, ultrasonic detectors, and imaging range sensors (akin to say an x-box Kinect).<br /> Both the sensors and the processing unit (say a raspberry pi or A20 based mini board) would need to be low cost and<br /> potentially sometime in the future be able to operate in the field for days at a time.<br /> The two students would be required to develop both the processing techniques and a simple hardware<br /> implementation which demonstrates their solution.</div>
