 INTRODUCTION
oWildlife plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. For
example, pollinators such as bees and butterflies are essential for plant
reproduction, and predators help to control populations of prey animals. If
wildlife populations decline, it can have a cascading effect on the entire
ecosystem.

oWildlife is a vital part of biodiversity, which refers to the variety of life on

Earth. Biodiversity is important for healthy ecosystems and for human
well-being. So, there is a need to design smart or intelligent systems through
advanced technology that can monitor wildlife conservation

 INTRODUCTION

● The limitations of existing approaches is that they only focus on tagged animals

● The project focuses on the count of animals in a specific region using camera
recordings, classifies animals as endangered or extinct using images, and
summarizes animal information from across the world, including migration and
biodiversity of animals in various national parks.
● In our project, we develop a detection method that involves tracking the location of
the animals and classification of the animals

 GAP IDENTIFICATION

● Many machine learning systems are designed to analyze data

offline. This means that they cannot be used to monitor wildlife in
real time. This is a limitation for applications such as anti-poaching
and wildlife tracking

7
 OBJECTIVES
● For accurate wildlife population counts from images and
videos, it is important to develop tools that incorporate
computer vision and machine learning.
● Create species profiles that compile detailed information on
population trends, habitat characteristics, identified threats,
and distribution data.
● For informed conservation decisions, it is important to
categorize species according to the IUCN Red List criteria
for endangerment classification.

● Tailored conservation strategies are aided by data
collected on animal migration and biodiversity in
national parks,providing insights into biodiversity

● Develop a regularly maintained unified platform to

effortlessly access and combine data.
PROPOSED SYSTEM

10
 METHODOLOGIES
● Data collection and pre-processing
● Real Time Images: Utilization of high-resolution cameras and
advanced image processing techniques for detection.

● Crowdsourcing : Collecting the images from various people by giving

an upload option

11
 METHODOLOGIES
● Feature extraction
● Shape features: Shape features are based on the overall shape of an object in
an image. Shape features can be used to distinguish between different
species of animals, as well as between different objects in a habitat.
● Motion features: Motion features are based on the movement of objects in a
video. Motion features can be used to track the movement of animals and to
identify unusual behavior.

12
 METHODOLOGIES
● Calculating number of animals per frame :
Making use of formulas such as Hamiltonian Formula,Euclidean Formula
or Kalman Filter

● Classification of animals as per Red List criteria :

This involves two parts: Object Detection and Classification where Object
Detection is Object detection is the task of identifying and locating objects
in an image or video frame using CNNs and YOLOV4 and Classification
involves the task of assigning a label to an image or video frame. In the
context of wildlife conservation, classification can be used to identify the
species of an animal in an image or video using RandomForestClassifier,
13
SVM,DecisionTree or Naive Bayes
 METHODOLOGIES
● Visualization
The process of displaying the information gathered on the world map
for better and easy analysis
