<p>A1725968: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Projects]]<br /> [[Category:Final Year Projects]]<br /> [[Category:2021s1|13252]]<br /> Each year feral animals cause significant harm in Australia, killing both native wildlife and damaging the environment. Common pest species in South Australia include feral cats, rabbits, and foxes, but also larger species such as camels and buffaloes cause significant damage in areas of northern Australia. This research project is an extension of work conducted last year aimed at developing an automated feral animal recognition system which could be deployed remotely to monitor for the presence of pest species. This system was based on a Raspberry PI board and made use of optical, thermal (long-wave infrared) and depth sensors to detect the presence of an animal. Machine learning techniques were then used to attempt to distinguish a few simple types (eg. dogs, cats humans etc). The aim of this follow-on project is to improve on the developed system in the following possible ways. 1. Improve the detection capability in a way that minimises power consumption but allows it to operate more effectively between dusk and dawn in the absence of a light source. 2. Examine techniques in 3D sensing and machine learning that could be used to improve recognition. 3. Collect data and develop a hardware demonstrator that could be deployed in the field overnight.<br /> <br /> == Introduction ==<br /> Something similar to the abstract I guess...<br /> <br /> === Project team ===<br /> ==== Project students ====<br /> * Benjamin Weichert<br /> * Daniel Rohling<br /> ==== Supervisors ====<br /> * Dr Danny Gibbins<br /> * Dr Said Al-Sarawai<br /> ==== Advisors ====<br /> * N/A<br /> === Objectives ===<br /> * Build upon last year&#039;s project to incorporate the use of depth data alongside thermal in the classification stage<br /> * Develop a hardware demonstrator which can be deployed remotely overnight<br /> == Background ==<br /> === Topic 1 ===<br /> <br /> == Method ==<br /> <br /> == Results ==<br /> <br /> == Conclusion ==<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> [1] a, b, c, &quot;Simple page&quot;, In Proceedings of the Conference of Simpleness, 2010.<br /> <br /> [2] ...</div>
