Exploring the potential of aerial drone imagery to distinguish breeding Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae), chinstrap (Pygoscelis antarcticus) and gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) penguins in An... by Christian Pfeifer, Stefan Knetsch, Jakob Maercker, Osama Mustafa, Marie-Charlott Rümmler, Alexander Brenning

“…Additionally, we explore the possibility and reliability of discriminating species by analysing differences in guano cover appearance, spatial distribution of individuals, posture, and the presence of chicks. Our findings indicate that differentiation is feasible for nearly all the investigated distinguishing features, although the reliability and spatial resolution requirements of the aerial images vary significantly. …”
