You are a developer of an offshore wind farm and wish to map the distribution of a population of marine megafauna in order to avoid or reduce the impact of your infrastructures on this population.

 

In partnership with the companies L'Avion Jaune and Cohabys, WIPSEA offers you the complete PIXSEA solution.

 
 
 
 
 

Acquisition of aerial images

Collected by L’Avion Jaune using very high resolution cameras installed in an aircraft to replace visual observers.

 
 

automatic photo analysis

Performed by WIPSEA using HARMONY software, developed in partnership with OFB and France Energies Marines. Our deep learning-based algorithm is used to identify cetaceans, seabirds and large fishes in the thousands of photos collected.

 
 

production of density map

Made by Cohabys from data extracted from photographs. These data are also used to generate an inventory of species, estimate their relative abundance and define their distribution.
