Abstract
A method and system for preparing a distribution program for insects comprises obtaining distribution data of a wild population of insects; obtaining distribution parameters including distribution resolution levels of at least one available distribution vehicle; generating a population density map at a resolution level consistent with the distribution resolution level of the vehicle; generating a release map by modifying the population density map in accordance with the distribution parameters; and generating a path using the release map, the path defining dosages of insects to be released at respective locations along the path.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- receiving information indicating a distribution of a population of wild insects within a predetermined geographic region;
- from said information determining a number of wild insects per unit area within the predetermined geographic region;
- placing, based on the number of wild insects per unit area, a plurality of insect release points, such that areas having higher numbers of wild insects are associated with relatively higher numbers of insect release points and areas having lower numbers of wild insects are associated with relatively fewer numbers of insect release points;
- generating an insect release route through the geographic region, the insect release route passing through each one of said plurality of insect release points;
- following said insect release route with a quantity of bred insects;
- and
- round respective ones of said release points releasing a predefined density of insects.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions to cause a processor to:
- receive information indicating a distribution of a population of wild insects within a predetermined geographic region;
- from said information determine a number of wild insects per unit area within the predetermined geographic region;
- place, based on the number of wild insects per unit area, a plurality of insect release points, such that areas having higher numbers of wild insects are associated with relatively higher numbers of insect release points and areas having lower numbers of wild insects are associated with relatively fewer numbers of insect release points;
- generate an insect release route through the geographic region, the insect release route passing through each one of said plurality of insect release points;
- follow said insect release route with a quantity of bred insects;
- and
- round respective ones of said release points release a predefined density of insects.
A method comprising:
- receiving information indicating a distribution of a population of wild insects within a predetermined geographic region;
- from said information determining a number of wild insects per unit area within the predetermined geographic region;
- placing a plurality of insect release points in said predetermined geographic region;
- generating an insect release route through the geographic region, the insect release route passing through each one of said plurality of insect release points;
- following said insect release route with a quantity of bred insects;
- and
- round respective ones of said release points releasing a density of said insects, said density being related to a respective determined number of wild insects per unit area associated with said respective one of said release points.
