Agerpoint Capture vs BearWatch

Simplify field data acquisition and analysis with Agerpoint Capture. Use your smartphone or tablet to capture 3D scans, take images, record audio samples, and document field notes to create digital twins of crops and forests. Agriculture and nature professionals capture data with their mobile device by walking around a single plant or planted area of interest. Agerpoint Capture uses camera, LiDAR, and GPS data to record images, depth and location. Live augmented reality feedback guides you towards a successful capture. Inspect and interact with your 3D models and captures onboard your mobile device. Upload captures to the Agerpoint Cloud platform for more detailed modeling and measurements, including plant health, inventory, fruit count and sizing, disease presence, species identification, and much more. In Agerpoint Cloud, mobile captures can be fused with other data sources including satellites, drones, and IoT sensors, creating a comprehensive digital record of your field or forest. Upload requires an Agerpoint account subscription and Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity. Only use Agerpoint Capture in safe environments and exercise caution when capturing data.

BearWatch is the mobile watchdog platform developed as part of a community project aimed at improving public involvement in the ecotourism destination "Băile Tușnad and Surroundings" (Băile Tușnad și Împrejurimile) — in public decision-making around the harmonious coexistence of people and brown bears. Băile Tușnad currently lacks a strategy for evaluating and monitoring prevention methods against bear-related damage. The capacity of the local mayor's office is not sufficient to bring local civil society, NGOs, and tourists into the problem-solving process. This app is built to close that gap. The project addresses this through a range of activities: mapping the current situation and proposing practical solutions for evaluating and improving damage prevention methods; making bear-coexistence information available to the public; running an advocacy campaign to develop a local prevention strategy; and implementing brand and event regulations in the town. BearWatch is the digital arm of this effort — a communication and monitoring tool for environmental issues in the area. What you can do in the app: - Report bear sightings with photos, video, GPS location, and observation details - Browse validated sightings on a list or map - Receive push notifications about bear activity in your area - Communicate privately with administrators through your report's comment thread For administrators Review, validate, or reject incoming sightings, send broadcast alerts, and manage the user community. --- This project is part of the Active Citizens Fund Romania programme, funded through the EEA Grants 2014-2021. The programme is administered by a consortium composed of the Civil Society Development Foundation, Romanian Environmental Partnership Foundation, Resource Center for Roma Communities, PACT Foundation, and Frivillighet Norge, designated by FMO – Financial Mechanism Office of the EEA and Norway Grants. Its objectives are to strengthen civil society and active citizenship, empower vulnerable groups, and promote democratic participation and human rights, with a total allocation of €46,000,000.
