Tracking
Eonfusion's seamless support for time-varying data, together with its advanced capacity to transfer attributes between data sets, mean that it's a powerful tool for processing and visualizing track data.
Puma Tracking
Eonfusion enables users to realize the full potential of their animal tracking data. In this example, data from a GPS positional tracking device were used in Eonfusion to understand Puma behavior and ecology in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. GIS layers (ESRI shapefiles) including ...
Tracked lobsters
Researchers at the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (Hobart, Australia) used Eonfusion to observe fishery-related impacts on population structure and behavior patterns in Southern Rock Lobster (Jasus edwardsii). Individual lobsters were fitted with acoustic telemetry tracking devices ...
Terrestrial animal tracking example – Dingoes
Eonfusion is used here to visualise the movement and behaviour of dingoes in southeast Queensland, Australia. Positional and time data collected from Sirtrack GPS collars are processed in Eonfusion to produce a series of individual tracks. Day- and night-time movement is attributed to the ...
Tracking Antarctic Krill
The Antarctic krill fishery is the largest fishery in the Southern Ocean and its management relies on a thorough understanding of the biology and ecology of the species. This includes an understanding of krill behaviour. Video imagery of moving krill was acquired using two ...
Fur seal pup tracking
Eonfusion has been used to generate seal tracks by fusing time-depth tag data with GPS positional data. The fusion operation combines the data using a common time attribute, allowing interpolation of the seal's position while it is diving. The resulting tracks can be visualized at any scale, from ...
Whale foraging behaviour
Eonfusion is used here to visualize feeding patterns of a foraging blue whale. The whale track is imported in text format as a series of points, likewise an array of acoustic backscatter points that represent the density of krill, the whale's primary prey. Multibeam bathymetry is imported as a ...
Large scale fish tracking
The Australian Acoustic Tagging and Monitoring System (AATAMS) is a tool for observing large-scale movement of tagged marine animals. AATAMS is supported by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). It records the presence of animals as they pass through a cross-shelf array of receivers. A ...
