- Abstract: Trail camera imagery has increasingly gained popularity amongst biologists
for conservation and ecological research. Minimal human interference required
to operate camera traps allows capturing unbiased species activities. Several
studies - based on human and wildlife interactions, migratory patterns of
various species, risk of extinction in endangered populations - are limited by
the lack of rich data and the time-consuming nature of manually annotating
trail camera imagery. We introduce a challenging wildlife camera trap
classification dataset collected from two different locations in Southwestern
Florida, consisting of 104,495 images featuring visually similar species,
varying illumination conditions, skewed class distribution, and including
samples of endangered species, i.e. Florida panthers. Experimental evaluations
with ResNet-50 architecture indicate that this image classification-based
dataset can further push the advancements in wildlife statistical modeling. We
will make the dataset publicly available.

Camera Trap Images [57.96659470133514]
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.

Given a set of locations where a species has been observed, the goal is to build a model to predict whether the species is present or absent at any location.
Traditional methods struggle to take advantage of emerging large-scale crowdsourced datasets.
We use Spatial Implicit Neural Representations (SINRs) to jointly estimate the geographical range of 47k species simultaneously.

The hypothesis that image datasets gathered online "in the wild" can produce biased object recognizers is studied.
A new "in the lab" data collection infrastructure is proposed consisting of a drone which captures images as it circles around objects.
It's inexpensive and easily replicable nature may also potentially lead to a scalable data collection effort by the vision community.

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.

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.

We use state-of-the-art Resnet-50 and InceptionV3 CNNs for the classification task.
