A guide to designing a bear face recognition system

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In this post we’ll walk through the technical development of a bear face recognition system, a critical component of the bear identification system built in close collaboration with the BearID Project NGO.

Our research and software tool will provide a replicable technique and general approach that can be applied to other species beyond bears, which could aid conservation efforts worldwide.

How to build a real time bear detection system

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In this post, we’ll walk through the development of a real-time bear detection system, built with the NGO HackThePlanet to safeguard Romanian farms by deterring bears.

Implementing non-invasive methods to deter bears from approaching farms and livestock holds promise in fostering harmonious relations between humans and bears.

For the full picture, here is the bear deterrence pipeline. Tap through for the project:

Watch → detect the bear on-device → trigger → deter it from the farm
