Detection & Trajectory Data

Camera-Based Detections

Processed bird-detection events recorded by camera-based monitoring systems deployed on several wind farms.

Detection metadata and video sequences were used to reconstruct approximate trajectories in image space and characterize how birds approached and moved around the rotor area.

3D Radar Trajectories

A separate study used full-3D bird-radar data collected around wind turbines.

The radar provided trajectories with spatial position, altitude and flight speed, enabling bird movements to be analyzed over a much larger area than with individual turbine cameras.

Environmental Context

Trajectory data were combined with meteorological information and turbine operating conditions to study how flight behavior varied with the surrounding environment.
