Did you know SAS has bee hives? In this demo, I share how we've automated a process to capture SAS bee activity so we can understand vegetation bloom times, honey production, and overall hive health. You'll learn how we use image processing tools, robust principal component analysis, and object tracking methods implemented in SAS® Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning and SAS® Event Stream Processing.
