Resumen de Drones and AI make for better bird-spotting
A test using fake ducks to stand in for the real thing has found that when it comes to counting birds, drones (plus Al) beat humans. Jarrod Hodgson and his colleagues at the University of Adelaide in Australia had tried using aerial images from drones to count seabirds. They found that the drones gave a more comprehensive view of the colonies than people could get while doing a ground-based census. However, neither method gave an exact count of the individual birds.
