Title
Migrating Monarch Butterfly Localization Using Multi-Modal Sensor Fusion Neural Networks
Abstract
Details of Monarch butterfly migration from the U.S. to Mexico remain a mystery due to lack of a proper localization technology to accurately localize and track butterfly migration. In this paper, we propose a deep learning based butterfly localization algorithm that can estimate a butterfly's daily location by analyzing a light and temperature sensor data log continuously obtained from an ultra-low power, millimeter (mm)-scale sensor attached to the butterfly. To train and test the proposed neural network based multi-modal sensor fusion localization algorithm, we collected over 1500 days of real world sensor measurement data by 82 volunteers all over the U.S. The proposed algorithm exhibits a mean absolute error of < 1.7 degrees in latitude and < 0.6 degrees in longitude Earth coordinate, satisfying our target goal for the Monarch butterfly migration study.
