Researchers can filter out the drone images without any animals and split the remaining areas into smaller tiles so that they can pinpoint and identity the number of animals. In this project, animal distribution, along with other data (breeding site surveys and environmental data) will be used to create spatially and temporally explicit models of Rift Valley fever (RVF) transmission patterns.
