Jutta and Simon Vogl lead development of embedded software for the WildCamera wildlife camera and field ecology system.
This work has, for the first time, demonstrated high quality video recording and neural network inference on 30 fps video which is efficient enough to be powered by the very limited solar energy available on European forest floors.
Their work is of foundational importance to a new generation of field ecology system which delivers groundbreaking capabilities while overcoming the reliability problems associated with commercial wildlife cameras and eliminating the risk of severe back injury associated with heavy lead-acid batteries used by traditional field electronics.
Jutta and Simon’s two decades of experience bringing solutions which integrate the most advanced cutting edge silicon to market provide the advanced leadership and engineering capabilities which are critical to WildCamera.

“As climbing arborists, we exist at a unique confluence of art, science and athletics. Our profession has undergone a transformation from a dogmatic to a scientific era similar to that in medicine in the second half of the 20th century. As the challenges of biodiversity loss intensify, we find ourselves at a second turning point: we change from being consumers of research to leaders of the fundamental research and of the practical advances needed to ensure that trees remain homes to our most beautiful and endangered creatures.”

From the tree crowns of an Irish forest I’d like to welcome you. At time of writing in July 2024 we’re focused on field studies, rehabilitation studies, bat counts and trying to work out what best to do after a devastating series of wildfires affecting Myomimus roachi in autumn 2023 and summer 2024 so this is just a basic site and we’ll be adding a lot more detail on species, people and techniques in English, German, French and Italian in autumn 2024. 🙂
