Elephant Trespass Alert System using Deep Learning

Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC) occurs when the needs and actions of humans and elephants clash due to the shared utilization of resources like land and water. This conflict negatively impacts people's lives, leading to economic hardships, livelihood impairment, and potential threats to human safety and welfare. To prevent human-elephant conflicts and monitor elephant movement, an Elephant Detection System (EDS) using deep learning technology can be developed. This system will utilize cameras or sensors placed in conflict-prone areas. By training an object detection algorithm to identify distinctive elephant features, the system will be able to automatically detect and alert nearby individuals about elephant presence. This approach aims to enhance the safety of both humans and elephants. The system can be implemented through wildlife monitoring devices, mobile devices, or smart cameras. For effective detection of elephant intrusion in areas with human settlements and high levels of HEC, smart cameras or wildlife monitoring devices are the recommended solutions. These devices can be strategically installed and configured to capture images or videos whenever motion is detected.
