Deer aerial surveys have long been conducted using manned aircraft equipped with thermal cameras. With the advent of aerial drones and the miniaturization of sensors, these surveys can now be conducted more safely and economically using drone systems. The project goal is to develop standardized methodology to ensure high quality deer survey results that are scientifically valid and repeatable. Remote Intelligence has several deer survey projects scheduled for this winter to provide the field data, and the ability to conduct additional surveys to compare other methodologies as needed.
