Dynamic Time Warping is often used as a foundation.

Hey Gautam!

Could you share few sample files? I want to try out a couple algorithm and see if that's useful to you.

Thanks,

Bhavesh

Hi @AdamBloch 

I'd like to know more about your setup. I'm monitoring temperatures on a nature reserve using an array of 100 iButton Thermocron temperature sensors. I'm interested in what the benefits of using Arduino and Raspberry Pi might be. I need to collect my sensors in and read through a USB device. Then there's the interpolation and plotting of the data, and I'm particularly interested in how you are filtering and querying your data i.e. 'selectable [time?] range'.

Thanks

Ah! Thanks for posting this Tom. It's such a well designed, simple to understand video series, and the backing track is utterly delightful.  

Given the growing applications of machine learning for conservation, I've been wondering if a 'machine learning 101 for conservation' webinar or article might be a worthwhile resource to look into for our community. In looking for a link to put in here to a UCL course I know exists on this topic, I actually just came across this article: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO MACHINE LEARNING IN ECOLOGY. Seems that Jon Lefcheck had the same thought as me and got right down to it.

If you're interested in more introductory, practical resources on machine learning, do let me know below! Also, if you know of any other go to tutorials that you've found useful, please share them.

Hi Paul, 

So you have had the good fortune to make this ask during our annual #Tech4Wildlife photo challenge, but unfortunately you've been foiled on this ask (unlike the acoustic and camera trapping photos) - we've yet to see any lidar images shared in the photo challenge. So I'll add a request on top of your request.. if you do have some lidar images that you are willing to share with Paul, please add them to the #tech4wildlife photo challenge mix over on Twitter as well! 

To participate this year, all you need to do is: 

1. Take a photo of how you are using tech to save wildlife
2. Share it on Twitter: tell us a bit about your work and the tech featured
3. Remember to use the hashtag #Tech4Wildlife and tag us at @WILDLABSNET

Cheers,

Steph 

Hi @P.Glover.Kapfer 

Have you looked at the Environment Agency LiDAR data available under the Open Government Licence and available from http://environment.data.gov.uk/ds/survey/index.jsp#/survey?

It might also just be worth asking Amphibian and Reptile Conservation whether their LiDAR data are available. They have a 2 ppm coverage of the New Forest National Park from 2015 which is shared with Natural England (contact Arne Loth). The New Forest National Park Authority also have a 4 ppm dataset from a few years previous, though I'm not sure what the copyright status is with that one (contact Lawrence Shaw).

As a fairly frequent LiDAR user, I'd be interested to know more about your best practice guidelines and website.

Thom

Thanks for sharing. It looks as though they've recently been cancelled.

Hi Priyanka,

From your post, I believe you mean applications for modeling data, right? There are many depending on the area or environmental topic you are working on, such as QGIS, Movebank, Google Fusion Tables, iPlover, etc. What does everyone else in the community have to say about this?

@sivakumar @Hangiw @dave  @wai.yee @StephODonnell - What are your thoughts?

Hi Priyanka, 

I'll second what John's posted - it would be helpful to know a little more about what you're looking to do before we can answer your query. What is you project? What sort of data do you have? What are you looking to model? 

Steph 

Great link, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing, @Lot  

Adding a little more info in case anyone was interested but didn't click through - also, earlybird tickets are still available. 

WORKSHOP & TRAINING:

Drone applications in sustainable natural resource management

When: 15th to 19th May, 2017
Where: Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia
For whom: Members of forestry companies, governmental environmental institutions, non-profit organizations and university research departments, as well as students.

@TWhitten this may be of interest for Indonesia team members using drones? 

I went to one of the ERT Spatial Ecology and conservation conferences in Bristol a couple of years ago. It was invaluable - I discovered things there that I'm now using extensively at work. Plus, Mark is a great guy. I checked back recently and saw that this was happening - it sounds wonderful - have a great time! The WILDLABS.NET session looks awesome!
