An animal detecting device includes circuitry configured to: obtain one or more images; perform image processing on the one or more images, wherein the image processing includes detecting the presence of an animal in one of the one or more images, produce, when the presence of an animal is detected, image representation data associated with the one or more images according to a result of the image processing; and send, in the event of a predetermined condition being met, the image representation data to another device over a communication link.

Animal detecting device, system, method and computer program

A method comprising the steps of: receiving an image from a dynamic vision sensor and an image from an image sensor, wherein the dynamic vision sensor and the image sensor capture at least an overlapping field of view; determining, from the image received from the dynamic vision sensor, an area of movement in the field of view of the image from the image sensor; applying a higher level of image compression to the areas of no movement compared with the area of movement in the image from the image sensor to produce a processed image; and outputting the processed image to a neural network.
