Back to EpisodesAI Spots Crocs in Queensland Waterways
Description
Researchers in north Queensland are developing an AI system to detect crocodiles in local waterways. The prototype, funded with $359,000, uses a camera on a trailer to scan live footage in real time. Over the next year, three field trials will test its performance, aiming for at least 70% accuracy. The tech wont replace basic safety rules but could add an extra monitoring layer, potentially expanding to busy spots like boat ramps and marinas. Success might also involve pairing it with underwater tools for wider crocodile management efforts.
