BioTrack AIBioTrack

From weeks to hours: automated wildlife intelligence powered by aerial imagery, Earth Observation and AI.

The Challenge

Conservation teams are drowning in data, not short of it:

  • Manual overload

    Weeks of post-survey image review for every single mission.

  • No context

    Raw counts don't explain why species move; climate and habitat stress go untracked.

  • Resource walls

    Staff shortages limit how often surveys happen, shrinking coverage and growing blind spots.

The Solution

BioTrack AI connects every component of ecological data — aerial surveys, camera traps, Copernicus Earth Observation data, weather correlation and predictive analytics — into one platform covering the entire wildlife-monitoring lifecycle:

Multi-sensor detection EO & weather data Predictive analytics Interactive GIS dashboard Habitat risk prediction Automated reporting

From raw imagery to ecological intelligence

  • Species detection

    Automated counts and density heatmaps across survey areas.

  • Weather correlation

    Real-time correlation between animal activity and temperature, wind and rainfall.

  • AI insights

    Automated findings such as negative-correlation detection and activity-window identification.

Why Space Matters

Aerial detection without Earth Observation context is just dots on a map. Copernicus and Galileo turn those dots into ecological intelligence:

  • Earth Observation (Copernicus)

    Sentinel-2 NDVI reveals vegetation stress; land-cover change exposes habitat degradation; deforestation is tracked near real-time.

  • GNSS / Galileo

    Sub-meter geotagging enables exact spatial mapping, repeatable transects and long-term trend analysis.

Where We Are Now

Feasibility study in progress; PoC replay pilots are next.

  • Requirement baselines established

    Formal user requirements defined with Letter-of-Intent (LOI) partners.

  • Aerial datasets prepared

    RGB and thermal imagery annotated for baseline AI models.

  • Cloud infrastructure live

    OVHcloud pipelines supporting AI training and Copernicus API ingestion.

  • Multi-species detectors in training

    Weather-data overlays being integrated ahead of PoC replay pilots.

DronEye’s Role
