AI 360 Degree Deer Camera

This project focuses on developing an advanced thermal imaging deer camera with AI detection capabilities to enhance wildlife monitoring and research. The system utilizes AI to detect whether a deer is in view while leveraging a thermal imager to confirm the presence of a heat source. Additionally, a LiDAR sensor detects motion and directs the camera’s motor to turn toward the deer based on the LiDAR’s detection point. The camera is designed to detect deer from a minimum distance of 25 feet and accurately track them with 360-degree rotation. By integrating AI, thermal imaging, and LiDAR technology, this project provides a valuable tool for researchers, conservationists, and hunters, offering precise tracking and behavioral insights.
