Framework for Intelligent Wildlife Monitoring

In this research, we suggest a framework for the detail wildlife monitoring based on video surveillance. Camera traps are located on the remote territories of natural parks in the habitats of wild animals and birds. In spite of the dominant connectivity and sensing technology for wildlife monitoring are based on the wireless sensor networks, such technology cannot be applied in some cases due to vast impassable territories, especially in Siberian part of Russia. Based on our previous investigations in this research topic, we propose the main approaches and methods for big data collection, processing, and analysis useful for the management of natural parks and any wildlife habitat.
