DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Little Rock, Arkansas seeks a qualified research team to assess waterfowl behavioural responses to various types of drones, including small and large rotorcraft, delta-wing, and fixed-wing models. The primary goal is to improve survey efficiency and data quality through the development of refined survey methodologies tailored for drone use.
The partnership will involve drone imagery and biological expertise to build upon prior research. There is a specific interest in refining artificial intelligence image detectors and completing the development of a user-friendly application for unmanned aircraft systems that will enhance monitoring of waterfowl populations and wetland habitats. Qualified teams should have a background in biological research, remote sensing, and AI for ecological monitoring.
