Automated pest detection and monitoring using cell phone cameras
- Technology Benefits
- • Images are analyzed to determine the source and density of the pests to help target the problem more quickly• Automates the task of counting and classifying pests by transmitting data from a mobile device to an automated server to speed up analysis• Real-time identification of hazardous pests allows users to be quickly alerted if they are in danger
- Technology Application
- • Tracking household pests such as insects and rodents for better trap placement and eradication• Used by researchers to track the movement and habits of insects or rodents• Optical real-time identification of pests that may be health hazards• Camera monitoring could be used to analyze motor coordination of laboratory animals in study of neurodegenerative disease (e.g. Alzheimer's)
