drones combined with AI to track sharks in Australia

although we have so many nets around australian beaches this will be an interesting thing to follow

but i dont understand how this will be effective, for example

sharks can come around at any time so for how log do they expect to have these drones out there? half a day on a roation schedule??

hopfully when and if they implement this system it will help

"The detection AI is a quintessential machine learning system. The team trains the system to both look for sharks based on aerial videos as well as distinguish them from other life on the water. That approach doesn't just help it identify sharks, though. It can also flag dolphins, whales and other sea creatures of interest, which could give researchers an additional way to track populations."

I may be really tired but this sounds like what the world really needs.

 

Also you need to include a quote form the article to meet guidelines.

How long until we're using these to track people autonomously?

Won't happen. People will shoot them with cheap air rifles. In cities they already have CCTV on every street corner. Every government building you can be guaranteed you can be tracked. Private buildings would depend on the security company. All within law of course, but dot com and snowden have proven spies and cops don't always act lawfully

I believe your post doesn't follow guidelines for news forum. Not trying to be a mod, just saying you might want to change stuff before this gets locked for not meeting guidelines.

 

On topic, this is pretty cool

These with the smart buoys hopefully we can finally get rid of nets that are killing marine life.

What if the drones run out of battery? Then they would have to return to shore, losing the shark.

I could make a bunch of Team Fortress 2 jokes right about now.

If they could put solar panels on these drones for self recharging, that might extend the flight time without adding a massively heavy battery.

Interesting topic. Will need to follow this tech.

 

Even though others have mentioned it your post doesn't follow the guidelines lemme give you the link to the rule so you can review them and update your post.

Is this to help prevent Sharknados?

That is pretty much the minimum you need. As you hang around the forum you will pick up on the way we post things. I do suggest taking a look around other News post to see the common format used. 

Welcome to the forum by the way if I have not said that to you before.

You don't prevent a Sharknado, you simply survive it.

Still, seems very resource intensive. What if a storm approaches? What if the shark decides to swim deeper? Seems like too many points of failure and if something lika a storm does appear, the drones would have to return to shore, and people would have to go around collecting them.
