1) Develop models capable of detecting, identifying, and tracking the Asian hornet using artificial vision and machine learning algorithms;
2) Develop an integrated system for monitoring and neutralizing the Asian hornet;
3) Validate the developed process for monitoring and neutralizing the Asian hornet on a relevant scale.

1) Preliminary studies;
2) System architecture and technical specifications;
3) System integration with validation of the proof of concept on a laboratory scale;
4) Demonstration of the developed processes;
5) Dissemination, communication and exploitation of project results;
6) Project management.

i) an integrated technological system for the detection, selective tracking, and neutralization of the Asian hornet
ii) software as a service (SaaS) that allows the reporting of photographs collected in a beehive environment, accompanied by automatically estimated labels with an accuracy level greater than 80%.
