Nocturnal Rodent & Pest Infestation Detection

Counts the rats in the feed room while you sleep.

Frontier Frontier live in runtime

Plausible physics, early work — shown honestly as an experiment.

Rats are small, but at night the store is dead still — so their quick, darting movements stand out clearly against the silence. Each burst is logged with its spot and time. Over weeks, that becomes a map of runs and likely nest zones, and a number for how bad the problem is.

In the physics: A small mammal is a fast, low-cross-section scatterer producing brief high-velocity micro-Doppler transients at hours and locations where livestock are absent — a spatiotemporal anomaly the manifold has never seen in the 'empty at night' baseline.

How the field becomes an answer

RTI to confirm zone is otherwise unoccupied micro-Doppler transient detector tuned to small-fast-scatterer velocity adaptive PCA+MVE anomaly manifold vs nighttime-empty baseline event heatmap accumulation to localize runs/nests

How we prove it

Own-hardware in a feed room vs infrared trail cameras and bait-take logs; reuse machine-vs-human/small-vs-large scatterer discrimination already proven to separate motion classes.

Who it is for

'PestRadar' — infestation-pressure dashboard and hotspot map for grain/feed store operators; targets baiting instead of blanket rodenticide.
