The reliable detection and tracking of elephants through noninvasive means is a very important problem that can help elephant conservation effort and reduce human-elephant conflict.
The hardware and software development setup at the university’s electronics lab.
This project proposes to use infrasonic calls of elephants for this purpose by using a locally-built infrasonic detection system called Eloc. The hardware aspects of the system have already been proven in previous research. In this project, the overall system is proposed to be improved and tested under real-world conditions with the objective of making it ready for large-scale deployment in the field.
