鳍足类物种经历了独特的两栖生活史，这使它们成为许多研究领域的宝贵课题。鳍足类研究往往与野生动物生物学的技术前沿齐头并进，而无人机代表了航空遥感方法的飞跃，使得数据收集和整合能够在具有重要生物学意义的新尺度上实现。无人机方法和数据类型为野生动物监视提供了四个关键机会，这些机会已经推动了鳍足类研究和管理：1）重复和按需监视，2）大范围的高分辨率覆盖，3）形态摄影测量，以及4）计算机视觉和深度学习应用。用于鳍足类研究的无人机方法代表了技术采用的早期阶段，并且随着它们向其技术的全部潜力扩展，可以重塑该领域。
Pinniped species undergo uniquely amphibious life histories that make them valuable subjects for many domains of research. Pinniped research has often progressed hand‐in‐hand with technological frontiers of wildlife biology, and drones represent a leap forward for methods of aerial remote sensing, enabling data collection, and integration at new scales of biological importance. Drone methods and data types provide four key opportunities for wildlife surveillance that are already advancing pinniped research and management: 1) repeat and on‐demand surveillance, 2) high‐resolution coverage at large extents, 3) morphometric photogrammetry, and 4) computer vision and deep learning applications. Drone methods for pinniped research represent early stages of technological adoption and can reshape the field as they scale towards the full potential of their techniques.
