“We take lots of [drone] photos of these Mitchell Grass tussocks and we feed those photos into the MaxusAI platform. Then we circle around each individual tussock and we train the model to be able to identify Mitchell Grass tussocks by itself.” Lucy Gardner, Project Officer Southern Gulf NRM.

High resolution photos captured from drones can provide a wealth of information about the health and condition of a paddock, such as the amount and distribution of pasture and weeds, as well as the location of roads, cattle pads, fences and watering points.

Southern Gulf NRM, James Cook University and MaxusAI, supported by the TNQ Drought Hub, have been trialing the potential of this new technology on the identification and classification of Mitchell grass tussocks in the Southern Gulf rangelands areas.

This collaborative project is a part of the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund 'Managing Rangelands for Drought Resilience project' which brings together six Drought Hubs to showcase technologies and techniques that use mapping to improve rangeland management across Australia.
