CTOnews.com, June 29, Japanese media ZDNET said recently that China is promoting the popularity of bird identification AI across the country, which can not only be used to determine the number of species and populations, but also prevent infectious and epidemic diseases caused by birds.

▲ source Pexels in Kunming and other cities, a large number of migratory birds visit at a certain period of time every year, but the only way to count the arrival of migratory birds is through naked eye observation and experience judgment. Today, the use of bird recognition AI can significantly reduce misjudgments, and AI can identify and distinguish different migratory birds from photos, while counting the number of migratory birds.

The head of the developer of Bird recognition AI said that when studying vision-based AI, developers sometimes take the initiative to use bird recognition as a means to verify algorithms, because there are many species of birds and are very similar to each other, which can well reflect the ability and level of the algorithm.

According to the article, the most advanced bird recognition AI in China can use not only images but also sounds. In the forest and many other places with obstacles, people can only hear the birds but cannot see the birds. As a result, the developers designed an algorithm to convert birdsong into a spectrum and extract its features to identify birds. Through the combination of image and sound recognition, the recognition accuracy of AI can be further improved.

At present, there are many different deployment schemes of bird monitoring AI used in China, such as installing small servers near parks or lakes and uploading data to cloud servers after localized AI processing. Another option is to leave all data processing to the cloud. Either way, the labor cost is greatly reduced, and the efficiency of round-the-clock monitoring is significantly improved.

The article concluded that these technologies have an added benefit-less human intervention allows birds to stay in the surveillance area for longer without being frightened. China is also applying the technology to more areas, such as predicting epidemics and infectious diseases from birds, and the current system can identify more than 800 birds.

CTOnews.com previously reported that animal protection agencies in various countries are exploring the feasibility of using AI to improve work efficiency. American scientists have previously used AI technology to identify and count wild animals, with an accuracy of 96.6%.
