Bee Counter - Summary

• Goal – to develop a system to count the number of bees entering and exiting a hive using a DVS

• A DVS was mounted above hive and video was recorded

• A bee counter filter was developed in jAER • The bees were counted manually and using the filter

using jAER• System was very successful for low densities of bees

but became more inaccurate for high densities

Bee Counter Filter implemented in jAER
