Rodents such as rats and mice are associated with a number of health risks and are known to spread more than 35 diseases. Identifying regions of high rodent activity can help local authorities and pest control organizations plan for interventions effectively and exterminate the rodents.
In this post, we show how to monitor and visualize a rodent population using Amazon SageMaker geospatial capabilities. We then visualize rodent infestation effects on vegetation and bodies of water. Finally, we correlate and visualize the number of monkey pox cases reported with rodent sightings in a region. Amazon SageMaker makes it easier for data scientists and machine learning (ML) engineers to build, train, and deploy models using geospatial data. The tool makes it easier to access geospatial data sources, run purpose-built processing operations, apply pre-trained ML models, and use built-in visualization tools faster and at scale.
