A Dutch non-profit organisation 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 organisation 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 analyse 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.
