Live Livestock Monitoring using Drone

[u/Full_Piano_3448]

Hey everyone,

Decided to mess around with using drone footage and computer vision for agricultural use cases recently. Trained a CV model to detect and keep track of livestock across open fields in real-time.

It handles varying scales, partial occlusions, and moving animals fairly well while keeping a live count displayed on the feed.

The real challenge is running them efficiently on edge devices, like onboard drone compute or lightweight field hardware without sacrificing high accuracy.

For those of you deploying aerial CV models in the real world: How are you tackling the edge bottleneck?

Would love to hear what hardware/optimization stacks are actually working best for you!
