Possibilities of feedforward multilayer neural network classifier as a detector of pest birds in vineyards

Abstract

In this paper, the application of artificial neural network clasifier to resolve pest birds in agricultural areas as a part of a comprehensive system of protection against vermin is demonstrated. Firstly, the idea of the whole system is outlined. Then, the method of recognition is described, the process of artificial neural network design is illustrated and the classifier is validated using data gathered in the fields. Eventually, the results are compared to similar works.
