Artificial Intelligence Helps Researchers Sort Through Photos, Identify Wildlife in Australia


Over the next six months, more than 600 sensor cameras will be deployed in bushfire-affected areas across Australia, monitoring and evaluating the surviving wildlife populations. 

This nationwide effort is part of An Eye on Recovery, a camera sensor project run by the World Wide Fund for Nature and Conservation International,.

Using Wildlife Insights, a platform powered by Google’s Artificial Intelligence technology, researchers across the country will upload and share sensor camera photos to give a clearer picture of how Australian wildlife is coping after the devastating bushfires in the past year.

The Wildlife Insights platform can now identify over 700 species of wildlife in seconds and quickly discard empty images.
