| Sumario: | Our objective is to bring detailed and precise information about caves and the bat’s population dynamics which allows to comprehend the habitat’s shapes and dimensions, monitor population size, and development of conservation and specific control plans. And facilitate the study of the relations between bats and their environment. Thus, increasing prevention and understanding of zoonotic diseases. In this article we present the development of a portable multi-sensor platform, integrated by a RGB depth camera, two Infra-Red (IR) cameras, and IR illuminators. With an autonomy of two hours. This platform can detect chiroptera (bats) and reconstruct their nesting caves. Performing real time algorithm, to transform the caves into a point cloud, helping in observation and detection of chiroptera. This platform was tested in real conditions with different caves of the Guanajuato state by the personnel of “Comité Estatal para el Fomento y la Protección Pecuaria”. |
