BORE-Rat Computer Vision Project

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Wildlife Research and Conservation: Using the BORE-Rate model, researchers and conservationists can study and track the populations of rats and bandicoots in various environments, helping them to better understand their habitats, behaviors, and potential threats to their populations.

2. Pest Control and Management: BORE-Rate can assist property owners or pest control professionals in identifying the presence of rats and bandicoots on their properties, allowing for targeted, well-informed pest management strategies to be put in place.

3. Ecological Impact Assessment: Environmental consultants can use the BORE-Rate model to assess the presence of rats and bandicoots in an area to understand their potential impact on local ecosystems or their role as indicator species for ecosystem health.

4. Education and Public Awareness: BORE-Rate can be used in educational institutions or museums to help the public better identify and understand the difference between rats and bandicoots, fostering an increased interest and appreciation for these often misunderstood animals.

5. Related Species Tracking: By extending the BORE-Rate model to classify and recognize related species, it can be used for broader applications in wildlife management, biodiversity monitoring, and ecological studies, providing valuable data on a wider range of rodents or marsupials similar to rats and bandicoots.
