An international team of scientists, led by the University’s Associate Professor Travis Horton, have published results from a study on measuring marine mammal health through non-invasive techniques.
Using infared cameras on top of quad-copter drones, Dr Horton said they were able to measure the temperature, respiration rate and heart rate of a free-swimming great whale in Rarotonga, during the 2018 humpback whale calving season.
The scientists stayed onshore and were able measure the whale’s vital signs over three hours.
Welcome to drone day on the Adafruit blog. Every Monday we deliver the latest news, products and more from the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), quadcopter and drone communities. Drones can be used for video & photography (dronies), civil applications, policing, farming, firefighting, military and non-military security work, such as surveillance of pipelines. Previous posts can be found via the #drone tag and our drone / UAV categories.
