Smart Wildlife Animal Tracking and Safety Alerts with Deep Learning Frameworks
摘要
Wild animals are steadily destroying more crops close to forested regions, and vehicle-animal collisions are becoming a bigger risk to both people and wildlife. Techniques that are affordable for studying the behaviour of wild animals are required. This paper presents a YOLOv8n and ResNet18 model to predict and classify wild animals and give an alert to people near-by. The dataset is constructed from various sources includes Kaggle, and web scraping tool iCrawler.io. The proposed detection model yolov8n achieves a 71.8% mAP of 10 distinct classes and performance of the provided classification model, ResNet18 has significantly improved, with an average accuracy of 93.33% of 5 distinguished classes. This concept is a dependable way to preserve human life while delivering precise information based on animals.
