Problem the AI is intended to solve
Offshore energy development requires environmental assessments; using AI technology to conduct offshore migratory bird counts can efficiently provide such data, however, substantial automation is required
Expected benefits
Counts of migratory birds with a high degree of accuracy, long-term cost efficiency, safety is improved for pilots due to remote sensing technology
System outputs
Abundance and distribution data on migratory birds
