Hack The Planet, a non-profit organisation based in the Netherlands, has designed a new camera system capable of spotting poachers in real time
A Dutch non-profit organization has developed a smart camera system that can detect poachers and the presence of wild animals in real time. This "camera trap" could prove useful in vast areas, such as national parks in Africa, where rangers are seldom alerted in time.
Hack The Planet, a non-profit organization based in the Netherlands, has designed a new camera system capable of spotting poachers in real time. This new "camera trap" uses machine learning, and therefore artificial intelligence, to analyze in real time the photos taken by the camera. Using sensors, this system detects the presence of humans, but also animals, and is even capable of distinguishing between different types of animals.
