Software for counting the number of animals on game farm using P4P

pmk1951 · May 11, 2017

I have a job to count the number of animals on a game farm. The farm is 10 square miles in area. Is there software that will assist me with this project.

Interesting..... I would be curious to hear the answer to this one too.

can try using DroneDeploy + TensorFlight ( TensorFlight tutorial ) and see if that works for you?

Thank you ktyliu, this looks very promising.

10 square miles? There is no solution for this. Zero. Zilch.
.......
1 square mile is 640 acres.
You MIGHT find a solution for a half acre.
640? My side is split that I am laughing so hard.

Not sure on software but I would think a thermal camera would work best to pick out the animals. A low tech solution cold be a cheap iPhone with a plug in Flir camera, set camera to time laps to get a good overlap and get the images laces together. If the phone stored gps locations for every picture would be grate or a camera that had gps would be ideal. The thermal pics are low low res so you wouldn’t have to worry about taking to many. Good luck
