Remote Sensing for Animal Count

Counting animals in a small or large territory becomes very important when it is a matter of diminishing of a particular category of animals or counting is essential for commercial purposes. Remote sensing technique is well adopted in animal counting particularly in remote locations. This include the use of satellite data or UAV imageries. These techniques are far better than ground surveys. One can use thermal and infrared imagery which gives heat and visibility signatures to given reflectance. These observations can be validated with ground truth using GPS data and ground observations. Satellite based remote sensing can be used if we need to study a large area in lesser time. Sensors with very high resolution like WorldView-3/4 are used in identifying large animals like wildebeests, zebras, polar bears, albatrosses, etc. Phytoplankton's and zooplanktons can also be studied using satellite remote sensing.
