STORMM (Airborne optical remote sensing system to assist the detection and mapping of marine megafauna) has been specifically designed in order to meet the challenges of megafauna and avifauna observation at sea.
Four high resolution imaging heads allow to combine the very high resolution needed for the further identification of fauna, and the high field of view needed to meet the standard observation protocols.
The system includes specific auto adaptation capabilities to changing light conditions and hotspot position.
Environmental and operational constraints of surveys have been taken into account so that STORMM can be operated in different types of aircrafts, without any modification of the visual observation protocols.
Moreover, STORMM can also be operated in a standalone mode without any observer onboard.
