# WADAS

*Wild Animals Detection and Alert System* (WADAS) is a projet kicked off by me, volunteering for [Salviamo L'Orso](https://www.salviamolorso.it/en/) (SLO) association, and the [University of L'Aquila](https://www.univaq.it/) with the intent of creating a research project for the AI-based detection and alert of wildlife in proximity of dangerous areas (e.g., railways tunnels, road crossings).

The intent is to produce a proof of concept (POC) of a detection and warning system for wildlife with the aim of preventing wild animals to perish in car or train accidents. Moreover, the project will start to set requirements and implementation basis for system interaction and adoption as final product (e.g. mobile App, integration with maps, backend, etc.).

The intent is to produce a software application acting as detection and alert system for wildlife with the aim of preventing wild animals to perish in car (or train) accidents and help improve the coexistence between wildlife and human communities. Moreover, the project defines a set requirements and implementation basis for system interaction and adoption as final product (e.g. mobile App, integration with maps, backend, etc.).

The project is to be intended as a non-profitable and open-source one. This to facilitate contribution and reusage to anyone that may want to help, improve and implement same technology all over the world.

Evolution of this technology will aim to detect and idenify the Marsican brown bear among wildife, to enable ad-hoc monitoring and notifications for the authorities which works everyday to protect this (and many other) species.
