Improving Flight Accuracy for Aerial Wildlife Surveys in Sub-Saharan Africa

Published: 01 December 2015 Publication History

Abstract

Aerial surveys are vital to assessing animal populations as part of an effort to understand ecosystem health, a primary component of social and economic development in rural regions of Africa. This paper describes the design, deployment and preliminary performance results of a mobile application that provides visual real-time feedback to assist cockpit crews conducting aerial surveys.
