“…Advanced image detection systems have been successfully used to count large bat roosts (Hristov et al 2005, Betke et al 2008 and similar approaches could be taken for population counts of birds at night in open habitats. Some analytical methods of image detection based on wing beat frequency have been explored (Lazarevic 2009) but there is a need for For example, applications to automatically detect animals during harvesting (Steen et al 2012) and as early warning systems for bird strike prevention (Müenzberg et al 2011) show promise in this field.…”

Thermal imaging, or infrared thermography, has been used in avian science since the 1960s. More than 30 species of birds, ranging in size from passerines to ratites, have been studied using this technology. The main strength of this technique is that it is a non-invasive and non-contact method of measuring surface temperature. Its limitations and measurement errors are well understood and suitable protocols have been developed for a variety of experimental settings. Thermal imaging has been used most successfully for research on the thermal physiology of captive species, including poultry. In comparison with work on mammals, thermal imaging has been less used for population counts, other than for some large bird species. However, more recently it has shown greater success for detection of flight paths and migration. The increasing availability and reduced cost of thermal imaging systems is likely to lead to further application of this technology in studies of avian welfare, disease monitoring, energetics, behaviour and population monitoring.

The purpose of this article is to present the results of a preliminary analysis of modern methods for preventing collisions between birds and aircraft. The focus was in particular on methods that enable defining the level of threat in passenger aviation and existing solutions for eliminating these threats. The first section defines the level of the existing threat of collision with birds for civil aviation on the basis of collision statistics based on collision reports submitted by pilots. The second chapter describes normative documents on methods intended to reduce the risk of collisions with birds, such as aviation rules and regulations, passenger aircraft certification, bird detection and deterrence systems, procedures of flight crews and air traffic controllers, and the development of bird detection and deterrence methods. Based on the analysis of existing solutions, the third chapter proposes a block diagram of an on-board system reducing the risk of aircraft collisions with birds by determining the level of collision risk and transmitting information about the risk level to the flight crew in order to reduce the effect of surprise among pilots, improve the accuracy of the statistics and operational safety by carrying out a technical inspection of the aircraft after the collision. The final chapter contains conclusions.
