Claim 4:
5. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program which, when executed by a processor of a computing device, completes a machine learning and artificial intelligence (“AI”) aerial wildlife survey of an area, said program comprising sets of instructions for:
capturing video data by an onboard camera of an aerial drone, wherein the captured video data comprises a plurality of sequentially framed images, wherein the captured video data further comprises both (i) digital video data that is captured in the visible light spectrum of colors visible to human eyes and (ii) thermal infrared (“IR”) video data;
reducing the dimensions of the images in the plurality of sequentially framed images;
graying and blurring each image in the plurality of sequentially framed images;
identifying potential targets in each image after graying and blurring, wherein the potential targets comprise objects and animals;
identifying a size of each identified potential target;
breaking down the digital video data and the thermal IR video data into individualized digital video frames and individualized thermal IR video frames;
matching the individualized digital video frames to the individualized thermal IR video frames based on time synchronization;
comparing the images in the individualized digital video frames to the images in the individualized thermal IR video frames, on a frame-by-frame basis, after identifying the size of each identified potential target;
counting a number of objects and animals; and
providing the count of the number of object and the number of animals as data results.
