No detections captured during this session yet.
This autonomous monitor uses a custom-trained YOLOv8 computer vision model to analyze live video frames in real-time. It is fine-tuned to detect the distinct dorsal fins and surfacing patterns of Orcas.
When an Orca is detected with high confidence, the system captures an annotated snapshot, updates this dashboard, and dispatches an instant webhook alert to our Discord server.
Real-time GPS tracking is restricted to protect the pods from boat harassment. Track recent movements via local citizen science:
