Exploring the potential of aerial drone imagery to distinguish breeding Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae), chinstrap (Pygoscelis antarcticus) and gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) penguins in Antarctica

Exploring the potential of aerial drone imagery to distinguish breeding Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae), chinstrap (Pygoscelis antarcticus) and gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) penguins in Antarctica

Penguins are critical indicator species for detecting changes in the Antarctic ecosystem.
