Drones with thermal imaging cameras to detect wildlife

An experiment in the Castelporziano forest
The video tells of the experimentation conducted by ISPRA to evaluate the ability of different types of drones, infrared video technology masts, to identify the presence of even small mammals in the vegetation of pastures. These innovative tools can be useful for researchers to identify animals even in conditions of poor or absent visibility. The activity was possible thanks to the availability of a different drone model offered by the Castelporziano Presidential Estate Service.
