TITLE AI based Wildlife Intrusion Detection & Prevention System
ABSTRACT An AI-based Wildlife Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (WIDPS) represents a sophisticated fusion of computer vision, edge computing, and non-lethal deterrent technology designed to mitigate human-wildlife conflict. At its core, the system utilizes high-resolution thermal or RGB cameras coupled with Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors to monitor boundary zones in real-time. When motion is detected, the raw data is instantly processed by an on-site "Edge AI" unit—such as a Jetson Nano or Raspberry Pi—running deep learning architectures like YOLOv8 or SSD (Single Shot Detector). This localized processing is critical; it allows the system to distinguish between a "false positive" like a domestic dog or swaying branches and a "target threat" like an elephant or a leopard without relying on an unstable cloud connection. Once a specific species is classified, the system executes a tiered response: it simultaneously transmits a low-latency alert via LoRaWAN or GSM to forest rangers and triggers a species-specific deterrent. These deterrents are carefully calibrated to be effective yet harmless, utilizing ultrasonic frequency arrays, high-intensity LED strobes, or acoustic mimicry (such as the sound of bees to deter elephants) to steer the animal back into the forest. By logging every encounter, the system creates a granular heat map of animal movement patterns, allowing for data-driven conservation strategies and ensuring that the prevention methods remain dynamic and effective over time.
