Who We Are
Since 2014 we have been dedicated to aiding the conservation community at large by leveraging the latest AI technologies to increase both the efficiency and accuracy of existing processes, and to solve new problems.
Our goal is to use technology to give back to the planet from which we have taken so much.
TrapTagger
TrapTagger is software that uses AI to automatically annotate your camera-trap data – by locating and identifying the animals therein. It can additionally assist in building up a database of known individuals using coat-pattern-matching AI algorithms, as well as provide you with a number of built-in statistical analysis tools.
TrapTagger offers the following:
- Improved accuracy over traditional methods, with more data at your fingertips.
- Manage and store your data securely in the cloud.
- Instantly analyse your data using built-in tools.
- Your data remains yours and is never shared.
- It’s completely free to use.
Since 2019 TrapTagger has aided in excess of 130 organisations across the globe to process over 100 million camera trap images – saving decades worth of human effort in the process.
SurveyScope
SurveyScope is software that uses AI to automatically annotate aerial population-census data – by locating and identifying the animals therein. It can be used for most aerial data regardless of source, view angles, survey technique, region and species.
Over traditional methods, this approach:
- Is cheaper due to needing smaller aircraft and fewer team members.
- Reduces risk to human life since RSOs are not required.
- Provides more consistency through replacing human variability with AI.
- Image data serves as a permanent record and paper trail for auditability.
- More-thorough data allows for significantly more in-depth analysis.
SurveyScope is also:
- Completely free.
- Fully secure in the cloud.
- All data remains yours and will not be shared.
Since 2014 our AI-driven aerial survey projects have served a wide variety of park management, organisations, and survey practitioners to more-regularly and more cost-effectively monitor wildlife populations.
SkySeeker
SkySeeker is a wing-strut-mounted camera pod for light aircraft for performing aerial surveys.
In our experience:
- Satellites do not provide sufficient resolution.
- Drones simply do not have enough endurance and speed to cover vast protected areas.
- Thermal cameras do not work in the hot sun.
As such, we have developed SkySeeker as a portable way of generating high-quality imagery that is:
- FAA, CAA and TCCA certified.
- Can be attached to most locally-available aircraft without modification.
- Can be controlled using a mobile app for maximum control and insight.
- Fully flexible in terms of camera angles and survey techniques.
SkySeeker was designed to be used in conjunction with SurveyScope, but can be used on it’s own too.
We have developed these tools out of our love for wildlife, passion for conservation and desire to make a change.
