Description

Beluga whale face increasing threats in the Arctic, demanding effective research for conservation. Transitional methods going on field trips to collect short videos in excel, going on field trips to collect short videos, and having to rewatch the video are often time- consuming labor intensive, and limited in scope. This poster explores how engineering and AI can improve research. Engineering can provide robust tools like autonous underwater vehicles with advanced sensors for data collection in challenging environments. These technology offer an enhanced understanding of belugas behavior and ecology
