Monitoring abundance of aggregated animals (Florida manatees) using an unmanned aerial system (UAS)
Abstract Imperfect detection is an important problem when counting wildlife, but new technologies such as unmanned aerial systems (UAS) can help overcome this obstacle. We used data collected by a UAS and a Bayesian closed capture-mark-recapture model to estimate abundance and distribution while acc...
