Intelligent image analysis for environment monitoring

摘要

As issues regarding environment protection become more and more important in our life, there is an increasing need of monitoring many aspects of the environment. In this paper, we outline and discuss an architecture for intelligent monitoring that we have just started developing. By using techniques developed in the area of artificial intelligence, we are trying to develop software for environment monitoring that can replace human experts in many tasks or assist them in those tasks where they are absolutely needed. That way, we hope to reduce the cost of environment monitoring and make it available to many places where it could not otherwise be affordable.
