Heat Detection

The Heat Detection service creates a comprehensive thermal orthophoto of the surveyed area from thermal camera imagery.
Based on this, the system automatically detects heat signatures within a predefined temperature range (typically 30–40 °C, commonly used for wildlife surveys).

Output​

The processing results include:

  • A thermal orthophoto in .tif format, providing a comprehensive heat map of the area.
  • A map visualisation where detected heat signatures are marked with coloured dots.

✅ Advantage:
The thermal orthophoto combined with automatic temperature range-based detection provides an efficient solution for rapid wildlife population surveys.
