Product Development Update

Our artificial intelligence is revolutionizing wildlife monitoring.

Our AI detection algorithm is now able to correctly recognize, count and track the individual #animals present in the fields – shown in the video with the bounding rectangles.

We are able to identify both individuals (small rectangles) and animal groups (bigger rectangles) present in the fields. 🌾

Now, with advances in artificial intelligence and the combination of thermal imaging and drones, Flox is able to more precisely detect and identify animals than ever before.🚀
