For conservationists, forestry services, and research institutes, we build custom AI models that support drone vision to detect wildlife through dense canopy, prevent poaching, and automate population surveys using Thermal and RGB sensor fusion.
Tracking wildlife on foot or by manned helicopter is expensive, dangerous, and disturbs the animals you are trying to study. Relying on traditional methods creates three critical data gaps:

Visible cameras can't see through leaves. Animals hiding in dense forests go uncounted. Our Thermal Vision AI detects heat signatures through the foliage, revealing hidden populations.
Walking the forest scares animals away, skewing your count. Our High-Altitude Drones fly silently above the ecosystem, capturing natural behavior without human interference.
Park rangers can't patrol a million acres at once. Our AI detects Human Activity (poachers/vehicles) in restricted zones at night, alerting rangers instantly.
For biologists, we fly grid patterns over the forest. The AI counts every heat signature, classifying species (e.g., "Deer" vs. "Bear") based on thermal profile size and movement patterns.
Thermal sees the "blob," but RGB sees the "color." We fuse both camera feeds. The thermal sensor finds the animal (hot spot), and the RGB sensor confirms the species if visible (visual ID).
A thermal signature under a tree looks fragmented. Our temporal tracking algorithms analyze the "flicker" of heat as the animal moves between gaps in the leaves to reconstruct the full shape.
Sun-heated rocks look like animals. We train our models on "negative samples" (hot rocks, water reflections) to teach the AI the difference between a stone and a living, moving creature.
We program the drone to fly "Llwnmower patterns" with 80% overlap. The images are stitched into a massive thermal orthomosaic map for total area analysis.
Counting deer in our 5,000-acre reserve took weeks of night spotting. Folio3 built a thermal drone pipeline that surveyed the entire forest in two nights, identifying 30% more animals than our best ground count." — Director of Conservation, State Forestry Department 95% Detection Accuracy (Thermal) 10x Faster Than Ground Surveys Zero Human Risk
