Determination of the big mammals migration corridors in the particular areas using remotely-operating intelligent camera system

Large mammals free movement through the large areas is fundamental element of the healthy mammals ecosystem. The migrations keep the balance between animal populations, maintain sufficient genetic diversity or prevent the temporary lack of food. With the growing rate of transportation, urbanization and industrialization across the all countries, the barriers in the countrysides are created. Because of these barriers, the natural migration corridors of big mammals are endangered. Preserve the land connectivity is fundamental step for nature conservation and for healthy mammals ecosystem. To achieve this objective, we proposed a camera-based remotely operating intelligent system to identify the migration corridors. The system consists of one master device and more slave devices. The slave devices are deployed in the harsh environment of the countrysides and they use two camera devices to detect and track mammals across their surveillance zone. The information about mammals movement, movement trajectory and time in the scene are send to the master and stored in the database. The system uses the algorithm of computer vision to automatically classify appropriate animal species for moving mammals. The master collect data from all slave devices in the designated area and then the migration corridors for individual mammals species are created.
