Wild Boar in 3D 🐗
Depth Anything 3 transforms 2D camera trap images into measurable 3D space:
→ Automated metric measurements
→ Distance sampling without markers
→ Morphometrics without invasive field work
Game-changer for wildlife monitoring!

Hosting my first #TED at #TEDAI Vienna: Discovering the Hidden World of Invasive Plant Species with AI (I had to smuggle some invasive plants into the Hofburg, Vienna ;-)

New paper out: How AI could enhance biodiversity in energy planning?
We analyzed wind projects in Austria - found huge data gaps in environmental assessments. AI-supported biodiversity monitoring (bioacoustics, camera traps, eDNA) could change the game.

Running #Deepseek with its Multimodal model Janus-Pro-7b locally is really crazy. I show this camera trap picture and ask: "Explain this picture. What animal species do you see?" See the answer in the follow up post. #tech4wildlife

Last season we opened our first bioacoustics exhibition in the schlossORTH National Park Centre at the Donau-Auen National Park. @puschmann.bsky.social designed the wonderful exhibition. You might hear and feel the sounds of fish, bats, birds and insects. #tech4wildlife

New letter: Artificial Intelligence will change the field of Environmental Assessment – but are we ready for it? What are the risks involved and what do we need to harness its power to help overcome the challenges of biodiversity and habitat loss? #AI #biodiv #EA

Thanks to Phil Atkin we have our first pi-pistrelle time-expanding bat detectors running! Ready for some ultrasonic adventures. #tech4wildlife

Was fliegt morgen noch mit den Böllern durch die dunkle Nacht? Auf diesem Vogelradar leuchten die Niederlande um kurz nach 12 Uhr auf, weil fast 400,000 Vögel auffliegen und fliehen! Über eine Stunde und das ganze Land werden Millionen (nicht nur) Vögel aufgescheucht. #silvesterohneböller!

Vielen Dank an das Bundesforschungszentrum für Wald! Unsere Bioakustik-Vernetzung ist der erste wichtige Schritt in Richtung einer Implementierung des passiven bioakustischen Monitorings als wichtiges Werkzeug zur Bewältigung der globalen Biodiversitätskrise. Packen wir es an! #biodiv

Wir durften im Rahmen eines Citizen-Science- Forschungsprojekt der Österreichische Bundesforste bei der Suche nach dem kryptischen Baumschläfer helfen. Gemeinsam konnten wir ein bioakustisches Monitoring entwickeln, dass den Gesang der Baumschläfer mittels künstlicher Intelligenz erkennt.
