In a session at
Open Source Summit Europe
(OSSEU) back in September, Alex Bucknall gave an overview of a camera “trap”—a
device to capture images in a non-intrusive way—that he helped develop
which is being used to monitor seagrass. He works for
the Arribada Initiative, which is a
non-profit organization
focused on creating open-source technology for studying wildlife and ecosystems.
The camera system uses the Zephyr
realtime operating system (RTOS) on an open platform that is designed to be
inexpensive and usable for multiple applications.
