IdentiFlight Announces Issuance of Two New U.S. Patents for Avian Detection

February 1, 2023 | Louisville, CO - IdentiFlight International announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued U.S. Patent No. 11,544,490 (January 3, 2023) and U.S. Patent No. 11,555,477 (January 17, 2023), which relate to the detection of flying animals, such as birds or bats, while using an imaging system. 

“The overwhelming advantage of IdentiFlight over other approaches is the ability to determine species in real time,” said Carlos Jorquera, IdentiFlight Chief Executive Officer, Chief Technology Officer, and contributing inventor to the patents. “This is accomplished using a proprietary hybrid of machine vision and artificial intelligence technologies.” 

IdentiFlight implements machine learning via convolutional neural network technology.  In this technology, millions of images gathered from IdentiFlight’s data set are used to train a neural network.  Leveraging the convolutional neural network data allows the system to continuously learn and improve as the data set grows.  This proprietary technology facilitates the growth of renewable energy by minimizing wildlife impacts.  IdentiFlight has exclusive rights to this and numerous other patent technologies. The ‘490 and ‘477 patent raises IdentiFlight’s patent portfolio to 8 USPTO issued patents, as well as 7 international patents.
