This is especially challenging in nocturnal species such as the aye-aye, particularly when they are in environments with significant anthropogenic stimuli, such as at the San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park. We want to develop a system for intelligently monitoring animals 24/7 so that scientists and caretakers can easily locate the relevant and interesting data instead of poring over hours of irrelevant data. This takes on several aspects – reliable long-life embedded sensor networks, big data management, and machine learning. -![]({{"assets/projects-old_projects-aye-aye-2023.01.09.on-box-render-1074x604.png" | absolute_url}}) +{% include + img_caption.html + src="assets/projects-old_projects-aye-aye-2023.01.09.on-box-render-1074x604.png" + caption="On-Box Sensor Unit" +%} + If you have any of the following skillsets and are interested in this project, please reach out to our staff engineer Nathan Hui (nthui@ucsd.edu) - Linux systemd - Networking diff --git a/projects/old_projects/burrowing-owls/burrowing-owls.md b/projects/old_projects/burrowing-owls/burrowing-owls.md index d8d3d3f4..d8bbda62 100644 --- a/projects/old_projects/burrowing-owls/burrowing-owls.md +++ b/projects/old_projects/burrowing-owls/burrowing-owls.md @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ --- layout: project -permalink: burrowing-owls -title: Burrowing Owls +permalink: burrowing-owl-behavior-classification +title: Burrowing Owl Behavior Classification tag: burrowing-owls enable_nav: false --- @@ -10,14 +10,20 @@ Burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia) are just one of the many animals th ![]({{"assets/projects-old_projects-burrowing-owls-Website_Image.jpg" | absolute_url}}) Using labeled and unlabeled data, we are planning to use machine learning methods to help identify characteristics from taken images eliminating the stage for the researchers to manually identify and describe the details within the images.
