1. A system for tracking organisms, comprising:
- an imager having an image resolution and a field of view;
a backlight source configured to be placed in the field of view of the imager; and
a processor configured to analyze one or more images captured by the imager including at least a portion of the backlight source, the processor being configured to identify a biological property of an airborne organism in the field of view of the imager; and
a physical trap configured to physically capture at least one organism,wherein the system is configured to use the identified biological property to measure an efficacy of the physical trap.

Abstract
A system for tracking airborne organisms includes an imager, a backlight source (such as a retroreflective surface) in view of the imager, and a processor configured to analyze one or more images captured by the processor to identify a biological property of an organism.

15. A method of determining efficacy of a trap for airborne organisms, comprising:
-
monitoring a population of airborne organisms to determine a population of airborne organisms in a monitored space by; acquiring an image having an image resolution from an imager, the imager having a backlight source in its field of view, the field of view including the monitored space; determining that the image includes an organism; and determining a biological property of the organism; determining a number of organisms of a species capable of flight captured by a trap; and comparing the number of captured organisms with the determined population of airborne organisms. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
