(Yicai Global) June 6 — The Yellow River Delta Nature Reserve, a wetland in China’s eastern Shandong province that is home to uncommon bird types such as Oriental white storks and Saunders gulls, is using expert system and the latest innovations, consisting of drones and radar, to much better display and safeguard its bird life.
Tech giants like Huawei Technologies are eager to assist. Huawei has actually established a “sensing + 5G + edge AI + Huawei Cloud” option to help the reserve with types recognition, data, smart analysis and real-time tracking, said Shan Kai, an engineer on the reserve’s management committee.
The task utilizes Huawei video cameras and 5G information transmission to build a tracking platform for biological variety based upon the information it gathers, said Wei Biao, executive director of Chuangshi Intelligent Technology, which is among the partners in the task.
Provided free of charge by Huawei’s Tech4all group, the task got underway in July in 2015 and was implemented in October, Wei said. It is running stably and will aid with the security and clinical research study of Oriental white storks and Saunders gulls.
“It took us about half a year to improve the accuracy of bird identification from over 60 percent to more than 90 percent relying on the integration of AI neural network algorithms and deep learning technology as well as guidance from experts in the reserve,” Wei said. The task likewise offers information assistance for other research study tasks being done at the reserve.
“When the AI sensing capabilities meet the data requirements for scientific research, airports, breeding and other fields, it will have significant commercial value,” Wei said. For example, airports can alter flight paths so that rather of repeling birds they are securing birds.
Chuangshi has actually launched a cloud recognition option with Shenzhen-based Huawei to rapidly find birds in airports and other locations.
