In the first phase, the satellite image is automatically divided into sections and checked for the presence or absence of clusters of objects (the “classification” phase). Then, during the second phase, only the fragments of the satellite image where at least one saiga was previously found are analyzed (the “detection” phase). The method was calibrated by training a neural network on the results of the preliminary processing of archival satellite images from 2012 and 2013, carried out manually by zoological experts. When we tested the DCNN work with a “confidence threshold” of 0.3, we identified 1284 saigas on the entire model satellite image, while a zoological expert manually identified 1412 saigas. For practical use and to assess the effectiveness of this method, we counted saigas on a 2022 image covering two adjacent specially protected natural areas (PAs) located in the Republic of Kalmykia and the Astrakhan region (Russian Federation).
