Intelligent Monitoring System for Bird Behavior Study
Until now, the best way to obtain relevant information about the
behaviour of animals is capturing them. However, the procedure to capture
individuals cause them stress and introduces an effect on the measurement that
can affect the behaviour of the animals. To solve this problems this paper
describes a novel intelligent motoring system for birds breeding in nest boxes.
This system is based in a network of smart-nest boxes that allows access to the
acquired data all over the world through internet. A prototype of the proposed
system has been implemented for the evaluation of a lesser kestrel breeding
colony in Southern Spain. This prototype has offered in a short time more
valuable information that several years of manual captures. This prototype has
demonstrated that the proposed system allows short and log time animal
behaviour evaluation without interferences or causing stress.Junta de Andalucía P06-RNM-01712Junta de Andalucía P06-RNM-04588Junta de Andalucía P07-TIC-02476Junta de Andalucía TIC-570
