Abstract EN
We present a novel bimodal optoelectronic sensor based on Fresnel lenses and the associated stereo-recording device that records the wingbeat event of an insect in flight as backscattered and extinction light.
We investigate the complementary information of these two sources of biometric evidence and we finally embed part of this technology in an electronic e-trap for fruit flies.
The e-trap examines the spectral content of the wingbeat of the insect flying in and reports wirelessly counts and species identity.
We design our devices so that they are optimized in terms of detection accuracy and power consumption, but above all, we ensure that they are affordable.
Our aim is to make more widespread the use of electronic insect traps that report in virtually real time the level of the pest population from the field straight to a human controlled agency.
We have the vision to establish remote automated monitoring for all insects of economic and hygienic importance at large spatial scales, using their wingbeat as biometric evidence.
To this end, we provide open access to the implementation details, recordings, and classification code we developed.
