Description

This study enhances drone capabilities for wildlife detection, focusing on swamp deer (Rucervus duvaucelii). We used YOLO V3, V5, V7, V8, Object Detection V3, and DETR models. We prepared a non-GPU Real-time detection using frame sampling technique, making it cost-effective and accessible, suitable for conservation efforts and adaptable to other species monitoring. Total images - 8210 UAV Aerial image - 6765 Handheld camera - 1445 UAV utilized - DJI Mavic 2 Zoom, DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise, and DJI Mavic Pro YOLO V3 Train – 6198, Test – 2012 Others (YOLO V5, V7, V8, DETR, Object detection) Train-6198, Test- 687, Validate- 1325 Real-time - Using frame skipping technique, The YOLO V5 model has shown outstanding performance when applied to video with 19 skipped frames at a resolution of 320 pixels and 32 frames per second (fps). The Swamp deer dataset was annotated manually using Labelmg offline tools (https://pypi.org/project/labelImg/) and Roboflow online platform (https://app.roboflow.com/)
