报告内容摘要：

For reserch of the system developing to study herds of zebras, buffalos, and impala in their natural habitat in Kenya, We use drones to both film the animal herds and to map the 3d landscape they live in. We not only automatically track all the animals positions but also the body posture of each individual allowing us to study things like head position and line of sight for every animal. Combining all this information we can ask questions about how real collective animals groups make effective decisions in complex natural environments.
