    Mask R-CNN vs The Ranch: How drones, AI, and instance segmentation count cattle for banks

    Mask R-CNN, a state-of-the-art deep learning algorithm, for the automated counting of cattle captured in aerial imagery from quadcopters. The research addresses the challenge of reliably counting livestock in both extensive pastures and high-density feedlots to enhance intelligent livestock management. The study establishes that the Mask R-CNN framework performs reliably, achieving high counting accuracies and outperforming existing object detection algorithms, particularly in challenging scenarios involving occlusion and overlapping of animals. Ultimately, this work provides a promising step toward integrating artificial intelligence into quadcopter vision systems for precise and effective animal monitoring.

    Brutal Reality of Mapping

    DMA Weekly Q&A discussion among professionals like Michael Lilley, Jeff Musser (SkyBorne Drone Solutions), and Eric Ghanem, focusing heavily on drone mapping workflows and the drone industry landscape. Key topics included Lilley's planned tax season purchases of new equipment and updates on their website and CRM development. Much of the conversation centered on the critical role of Ground Control Points (GCPs) for ensuring vertical (Z) data accuracy, with participants detailing their use of RTK, base stations, and PPK software like Emlid Studio and Red Toolbox for corrections. The group also examined the high cost and profitability of advanced 3D modeling for specialized applications like mining, the industry's shift toward prioritizing data quality over drone ownership, and the overall lack of standardization in drone deliverables.
