Wild Salmon Migration Monitoring
The project monitors wild salmon migration to ensure the number passing through meets state regulations, addressing threats from human activities like fisheries and dams.
Mapping a Salt Marsh, Centimetre by Centimetre
How we trained a U-Net to map land cover on the Wadden Sea coast from drone photos, from ecologists' labels at any level of detail to a seamless map of every survey.
Coastal Erosion and Land Cover Monitoring
Drone-based monitoring of coastal erosion, sedimentation and land cover change on the Wadden Sea coast, served through an interactive web portal.
Learning to Compare: A Visual Guide to Metric Learning for Wildlife Re-ID
An intuition-first, visual guide to metric learning and how machines learn to tell individual animals apart for conservation re-identification.
Racing Models, Not Opinions: How We Ran Wildfire ML R&D for Pyronear
How a literature survey, self-contained experiments, and a shared leaderboard turned 28 research papers into a production smoke verifier with 4x fewer false alarms.
Smoke Is a Behavior: Inside Pyronear's Temporal Wildfire Detection Model
How the temporal smoke verifier works, step by step. Detection boxes become tubes, stabilized crops make motion legible, and a vision transformer plus a tiny temporal head learn that smoke grows and drifts.
