Capabilities - Animal Detection

ConductScience has built research equipment for laboratories for more than ten years. Animal Detection can identify species, track individual animals over time and flag changes in how livestock walk and behave for your team to check.

How it works - Animal Detection in three steps

How Animal Detection works with the cameras you already run.

  • Connect Lab or Field Cameras. Use your lab, trail or barn cameras, or drone footage. The system works on live video and on recorded footage you upload.
  • Set Up for Your Species. The system identifies species, estimates body condition, and sorts behaviors such as feeding, resting, grooming and social contact. For livestock and lab animals, it tells individuals apart without physical tags.
  • Deliver Structured Data. Observations can be exported for your own analysis. Events you define are flagged for your team to review, such as an animal that is moving much less than usual, a predator entering a corridor or an animal crossing a virtual fence.

Features

What Animal Detection can do.

  • Species Identification. Recognizes species across mammals, birds, reptiles, and marine life.
  • Individual Animal Tracking. Tells individual animals apart without tags or implants, so each one can be followed over time.
  • Behavior Classification. Classifies behaviors including feeding, resting, locomotion, social interaction, stereotypic movements, and distress indicators. Customizable for specific research protocols.
  • Wildlife Corridor Monitoring. Detects and logs animal crossings at highway underpasses, habitat bridges, and migration routes. Generates crossing frequency reports by species and time of day.
  • Livestock Behavior Changes. Flags animals that show changes in gait, feeding or isolation, for your team to check. It does not diagnose disease.
  • Laboratory Animal Tracking. Overhead camera tracking for rodents in open-field, elevated-plus-maze, Morris water maze, and home-cage environments. Compatible with standard behavioral neuroscience protocols.
  • Batch Video Analysis. Upload recorded trail camera footage or lab videos for review. Results come back as data your team can analyze in its own tools.
  • Set Up for New Species. Can be set up for less common species or specific research populations, using example images from your own footage.

Use cases

Applications of Animal Detection across industries.

Behavioral Neuroscience Research

Researchers spend hours manually scoring rodent behavior from video. Automated tracking and behavior classification can score the same footage.

  • Research
  • Pharma

Wildlife Conservation Monitoring

Conservation teams deploy trail cameras across vast areas but lack the personnel to review millions of images. AI-powered species identification filters and catalogs captures automatically.

  • Conservation
  • Government

Livestock Welfare Auditing

Agricultural operations need continuous welfare monitoring across large herds. ConductVision can flag animals whose walk or behavior has changed, for your team to check.

  • Agriculture
  • Veterinary

Highway Wildlife Crossing Analysis

Transportation departments invest millions in wildlife crossings but struggle to measure their effectiveness. Automated monitoring quantifies crossing frequency by species and time.

  • Transportation
  • Conservation
  • Government

Aquaculture Stock Monitoring

Fish farms need to monitor feeding behavior, swimming patterns, and mortality events across multiple pens. Underwater camera feeds are processed to detect abnormal behavior and estimate biomass.

  • Agriculture
  • Aquaculture

Pest Intrusion Detection

Food storage and processing facilities must detect rodent and bird intrusions. Animal Detection identifies pest species and flags them for facility management to review.

  • Food Processing
  • Logistics
  • Manufacturing

Drone-Based Wildlife Surveys

Ecologists use drone flights to survey animal populations across inaccessible terrain. The platform processes aerial video to count individuals, identify species, and map spatial distributions.

  • Conservation

Try Animal Detection at your site

A pilot runs on video from your camera system for an agreed period, and you get a report of the results.
