AVES real time bird detection

AVES-Wind On and Offshore are camera-based, AI-supported bird detection systems working on species level. Systems monitor airspaces of windfarms or specific areas (like rotor diameters) using pan, tilt and zoom functionalities for tracking and recognizing individuals or flocks. The systems are managed remotely or in SCADA and can e.g., induce event based short time shut downs of individual turbines.
