Sick Birds		Impact of cats on wildlife	The RFID tracking system uses an interconnected web of beacons and smart collars to monitor the positions of tagged cats in a set area. Team 7 collects data on bird species and amount of birds, they have agreed to collaborate with us and send their data to our database and it can be used to compare the amount of birds to the amount of cats in the area specified. To visualize this our heat map is set up to show the amount of birds on a beacon and the cats detected by our system which is time accurate.

Bird Deterrent Box		Birds throwing trash our from bins	The bird deterrent box is a box you can place on the inside of a trash bin to scare away the birds. it consists of tow sonic sensors that check whether or not something is tryin to grab a piece of trash. If it detects a bird it will sound the alarm system.	Hauk Erik Jacobsen, Dimitar Marenov, Ado Nainggolan, Ruthi Marisetty, Jeremy Lieferink, Leo Rodrigo	Report	Photos	Code
EyeHear		illegal hunting: acoustic detection system	Numerous records show that illegal hunting has caused significant decreases in wildlife populations. The project proposed in this paper focuses on tackling such issues by developing a smart environment that continuously detects sounds while checking if the obtained data values match gunshots. Such analysis can be done by strategically placing multiple devices in the area to be monitored and comparing the differences in values received. By making use of triangulation, the location of the sound source, and thus the location of the gunshot, can be pinpointed.

Smart Wildlife Tunnel		A tunnel under a road that senses what animals go through	Wildlife tunnels exist to reconnect wild animals' habitats. To optimize these tunnels, data s needed about what animals do and don't use the tunnel. A main sensor in the tunnel turns on the system, followed by sensors that determine its size and finally one more sensor to determine its speed. There is also a camera installed that takes a picture when the size of the animal alone is not enough to determine what type of animal it is.

HomeHedge		Hedgehog monitoring	Hedgehog tunnel in-between urban fences with built in sensors and a camera for data collection	Rutger Rinsma, Jalen Cyrus, Jarne Groenewegen, Lisa- Marie Zaremba, Altea Vesta Junio, Patrik Tuka	Report	Photo 3D Model	Code
The Beatles		Deterring wild boars from Heerde	A device that detects if there is a wild boar in front of it. If it detects a wild boar, the Ultra Sonic speaker & the LED strip will activate/start blinking. The US-speaker will play a sound which is unhearable by humans but uncomfortable for boars, which will scare off the boars. These devices will get placed in a line around Heerde, 200 meters apart, to make sure the boars don’t enter the town of Heerde.

Supersonic Megaboosters		Wolf collar for public education	Wolves are making a comeback in Europe, this has some people on high alert, including farmers and parents. We propose the use of a smart collar that transmits the location of a wolve to enable better prevention of serious attack/damage. Furthermore, our platform is used to educate the public about wolves and their benefit in the environment	Sebastian Orgel, David de Groot, Rares Ioan-Ionescu, Sylvia Zhao, Ewoud Janus, Fleur Groot Nibbelink, Ekaterina Koshkina, Theo van den Berg	Report	Photos	Code
BATSS		Slowing bat decline	Using a bat monitoring device to detect bats and scare them away from windmills using ultrasonic sensors	Bart van Dorst, Anthony Mammoliti, Madeleine Leertouwer, Niels Brouwer, Robin Geilings, Sahan Berndt, Phebe Biney, Samuel Overtoom	Report	Photos	Code
Creepy Crawlies		Automatic Monitoring of insects	Studies have shown a rapid decrease in insect population worldwide, but there is discussion over the exact statistics. Thus, our automated pitfall trap helps to more accurately monitor insect populations. Using an ultrasonic sensor, an insect is detected once it falls into the pitfall trap. The bottom of the trap is raised so the insect can crawl out freely without being stuck in the trap. A counter is incremented, sent to a laptop via Bluetooth, and intuitively visualised.

KAGU		Helping endangered tropical birds	Tropical birds are starting to be more and more endangered due to deforestation and people hunting them for their feathers and to keep them as pets. We are trying to help them by pinpoint the location of the bird using triangulation with amplitude input. Also, we have frequency recognition, and our program can recognize a bird based on its frequency. If we know the information of which bird it is and its location we can help the bird in many different ways	Nadja Bobic, Niels Groeneveld, Jade Hazeleger, Rodrigo Gonzalez Ruiz, Carlos Romero, Wouter Stoter, Apurv Kanth, Esmée Detri	Report	Photos	Code
Smoking Eel		Fish Monitoring System	With this Setup using an Arduino Mega and multiple lasers you can monitor fish populations, fish size, fish speed and in which direction fish are swiming. Designed to be implemented in waterways like fishtraps and other points where measuring can be usefull. Could also be used as a toy to teach kids about fish and could be used in many other ways.

The Rangers		Sound isolation and bird detection	Background noise is a major problem for bird researchers. Sound pollution such as highways and city noise make recognising and counting birds difficult. To solve this TWEAK was developed. TWEAK can filter bird noise from background noise, leaving the researcher with a clear sound file. On top of that, TWEAK can accurately recognize bird species and approximate the number of birds in the sampled area. TWEAK uses an array of six unidirectional microphones for this. TWEAK is rainproof and windproof. All of this makes TWEAK a great tool for sound-based bird research!

BeeEaters		Large-Scale Bird Monitoring	The B.I.R.D. (Bioacoustic Intelligent Recording Device) continuously gathers audio data from its surroundings through the use of a microphone, which is subsequently analysed by a custom machine learning algorithm for the specific bird call of the Grey Heron. When this call is detected, the B.I.R.D. activates various sensors and transmits the collected data from these sensors to a local server which is visualised on our own website. This system can be classified as a smart environment due to its ability to gather, process and utilise data to adapt and respond to the environment.

A.R.C.		Animal road crossing warning system	Animal road-kill accidents are a big problem around the world. According to studies, Europe faces 29 million road-kill accidents each year alone. Therefore, ARC set out to create a system to decrease animal road-kill incidents. The purpose of the system is to alert drivers of animal presence near roads to increase their reaction times, in turn decreasing the probability of an animal-vehicle collision. Our proposed solution consists of a network of connected nodes placed alongside the road that can detect animal movement and warn oncoming drivers of possible danger.

Go_Wild		Light Pollution Insect Detection	To gather info on which light types harm insects most through light pollution, our setup detects insects with LDR sensors and the ESP32 camera chip by luring them with an RGB lamp. The photos are processed by image classification AI and are sent to a visualisation program together with time, light color, humidity & temperature data.
