Bird Species Identification with Regional Custom CNN Model

Spearheaded a project on bird species identification using a custom ResNet50-based CNN model to evaluate restoration success in the Northern Western Ghats' Pavana Dam Catchment. Employed AudioMoth devices across 22 sites to analyze the distributions of 14 bird species, achieving 92.95% model accuracy. This work correlated acoustic data with habitat types, advancing conservation strategies through ecological informatics.

Key Achievements:

• Developed and trained a custom ResNet50-based CNN model for bird species identification
• Deployed AudioMoth devices across 22 sites for acoustic data collection
• Achieved 92.95% model accuracy in species identification
• Correlated acoustic data with habitat types to assess restoration success
• Presented findings to conservation stakeholders

LULC Change Using Geospatial Techniques in Kannoth Padam, Thrissur

Analyzed land use and land cover change in Kannoth Padam, Thrissur, Kerala, from 2014 to 2024. Utilized high-resolution satellite imagery and advanced geospatial techniques to assess the spatial distribution of five primary land cover categories: villages, mountains, rocks, crops, trees, and rivers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Processed and analyzed multi-temporal satellite imagery
• Performed supervised classification of land cover types
• Quantified changes in land use patterns over a 10-year period
• Created detailed maps and visualizations of land cover changes
• Documented findings in a comprehensive research report
