• Abstract summary: Camera traps enable the automatic collection of large quantities of image data. We have recently been making strides towards automatic species classification in camera trap images. We have prepared a challenge where the training data and test data are from different cameras spread across the globe. The challenge is to correctly classify species in the test camera traps.

• Abstract: Camera traps enable the automatic collection of large quantities of image data. Biologists all over the world use camera traps to monitor animal populations. We have recently been making strides towards automatic species classification in camera trap images. However, as we try to expand the geographic scope of these models we are faced with an interesting question: how do we train models that perform well on new (unseen during training) camera trap locations? Can we leverage data from other modalities, such as citizen science data and remote sensing data? In order to tackle this problem, we have prepared a challenge where the training data and test data are from different cameras spread across the globe. For each camera, we provide a series of remote sensing imagery that is tied to the location of the camera. We also provide citizen science imagery from the set of species seen in our data. The challenge is to correctly classify species in the test camera traps.

  We build a similarity matrix that incorporates both the spatial diversity of the cameras and the semantic variation of the images. We apply a diversity-based sampling algorithm to optimize the camera selection. We also develop a new dataset, IndoorTraj, which includes long and complex camera movements captured by humans in virtual indoor environments.

  Motion-activated camera traps constitute an efficient tool for tracking and monitoring wildlife populations across the globe. Supervised learning techniques have been successfully deployed to analyze such imagery, however training such techniques requires annotations from experts. Reducing the reliance on costly labelled data has immense potential in developing large-scale wildlife tracking solutions with markedly less human labor.

  Ecologists use camera traps to monitor animal populations all over the world. To estimate the abundance of a species, ecologists need to know not just which species were seen, but how many individuals of each species were seen. We have prepared a challenge where the training data and test data are from different cameras spread across the globe.

• Lift, Splat, Shoot: Encoding Images From Arbitrary Camera Rigs by Implicitly Unprojecting to 3D [100.93808824091258]
  We propose a new end-to-end architecture that directly extracts a bird's-eye-view representation of a scene given image data from an arbitrary number of cameras. Our approach is to "lift" each image individually into a frustum of features for each camera, then "splat" all frustums into a bird's-eye-view grid. We show that the representations inferred by our model enable interpretable end-to-end motion planning by "shooting" template trajectories into a bird's-eye-view cost map output by our network.

• Sequence Information Channel Concatenation for Improving Camera Trap Image Burst Classification [1.94742788320879]
  Camera Traps are extensively used to observe wildlife in their natural habitat without disturbing the ecosystem. Currently, a massive number of such camera traps have been deployed at various ecological conservation areas around the world, collecting data for decades. Existing systems perform classification to detect if images contain animals by considering a single image. We show that concatenating masks containing sequence information and the images from the 3-image-burst across channels, improves the ROC AUC by 20% on a test-set from unseen camera-sites.
