ASSESSING TOPOGRAPHIC FEATURES AND POPULATION ABUNDANCE IN AN ANTARCTIC PENGUIN COLONY THROUGH UAV-BASED DEEP-LEARNING MODELS

Assessing topographic features and population abundance in an Antarctic penguin colony through UAV-based deep-learning models

Penguins play an essential biochemical role in the Antarctic ecosystem, being the study of their dynamics of utmost importance to understand their environment, behaviour and populational trends in the current climate change scenario.In this study, we used multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) along the coast of the chinstrap penguin (Pygoscel
