Become a sponsor to Sensing Clues Foundation
Let's first introduce ourselves!
Sensing Clues develops methods and technologies for nature conservation and wildlife protection. Through our unique approach we are able to bring cutting edge solutions within reach of almost every frontline nature conservation organisation.
We are based in the Netherlands and our team consists of ecologists, law enforcement professionals, data scientists and ICT engineers. We mainly work with volunteers and solution partners who support us by providing free hardware, software and/or consultancy.
A few of our contributions to nature conservation
Two of our main technology projects are CAIMAN and SERVAL.
CAIMAN (Camtrap, AI, (hu)Man in the Loop) is a development to automatically tag animals on images from camera traps. Not only the species but also the number of individuals. We were runner up in the iWildcam Kaggle competition this year, so our models are near perfect! The next step is to integrate these models into a solution which can be used by our customers. The idea is to upload images, classify them with our models and integrate the results in our analytics tooling. This way, the output of the process can be used to inform actions to protect wildlife.
SERVAL (Sound Event Recognition for Vigilance and Localisation). The Serval sound sensor can be seen as an intelligent microphone. It is attached to a small computer that hosts a trained neural network able of classifying captured sounds. The network is being tested in the centre of our capital city, where we conducted a citizens science project together with the City of Amsterdam. The sensors work in the urban jungle. The next step is to make it work in real jungles as well!

Image and sound recognition are powerful ways to increase situational awareness of wildlife protectors. Your sponsorship enable us to speed-up the development of our open-source projects, and thus more rapidly turn wild places into safe havens! CAIMAN is our image recognition and editing tool for identifying and counting species on wildlife camera-traps. SERVAL is our open source sound recognition sensor for identifying the presence of humans in nature reserves. We are currently testing the sensor in the urban jungle of Amsterdam, where we use the same type of sounds to assess sources of noise pollution.
