A group of scientists and IT specialists jointly created a neural network for the program “Conservation of Dalmatians and Pink Pelicans” on VK Cloud. This neural network helps monitor pelicans listed in the Red Book, including outside nature reserves, and automates the process of counting their numbers. While this process used to take 7 days, now it only takes 30 milliseconds.
The model analyzes images from quadcopters and accurately determines the number of pelicans in the population; This saves a lot of time and resources by eliminating the need to manually count rare birds. For the convenience of ornithologists, the project team deployed this model in the cloud and created a chatbot in messenger.
Monitoring pelican colonies is important not only for the conservation of the birds, but also for analyzing their migrations and the impact of climate and environmental changes. A new neural network based on machine learning greatly simplifies this process to a few milliseconds. This is one of many AI projects being developed in fields such as medicine, finance and science, demonstrating the growing interest in AI and its potential in a variety of fields. In the future, the team hopes to expand the functionality of the project for continuous monitoring of pelicans in different regions of Russia.
