Feral-AI

Feral Animal Detection using Drones & Artificial Intelligence

Feral animals pose a significant threat to ecosystems, agriculture, and native wildlife. Their unchecked populations can lead to extensive environmental degradation, economic loss, and the displacement or extinction of native species. Addressing this issue requires precise and efficient methods to monitor and manage these populations.

KJR provides a cutting-edge and scientific approach to survey activities using our expertise in advanced technologies. Our solution integrates drone technology and artificial intelligence to offer comprehensive and efficient surveys that surpass traditional human methods.

Our Approach

KJR intends to take a cutting edge, scientific approach using our expertise in advanced technologies. 

• Drone Technology: Our drones cover large survey areas more efficiently than humans, enabling extensive and thorough monitoring.

• Automated Flight Routes: These routes allow surveys to be repeatable with GPS accuracy down to a few centimetres, ensuring consistent data collection.

• Thermal Imaging: This technology is particularly effective for identifying animals at night, providing a significant advantage over visual spectrum surveys.

Precise Data Collection

KJR’s drone technologies offer automated mission planning processes that generate precise waypoint missions. These missions define the specific route the drone will follow during its flight, ensuring optimal video capture while maintaining safe operating parameters. The drone’s flight path, heading, gimbal angle, zoom level, and distance to the façade are all taken into account, resulting in high-quality video footage of the desired area. This precise data collection capability is valuable in identifying the subject animals.

Mobile solutions

We work as remote as you are

No matter where you need help, KJR can get there. We’ve developed supporting technology infrastructure which allows us to work off-grid to monitor, capture and communicate data feeds for analysis.

We’ve successfully completed extensive projects already where taken-for-granted phone, power, and internet connections simply don’t exist.
