• Abstract: The management of natural environments, whether for conservation or production, requires a deep understanding of wildlife. The number, location, and behavior of wild animals are among the main subjects of study in ecology and wildlife research. The use of camera traps offers the opportunity to quickly collect large quantities of photographs that capture wildlife in its natural habitat, avoiding factors that could alter their behavior. In Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, research is being conducted on forest use by different herbivores (guanacos, cows, sheep) to optimize management and protect these natural ecosystems. Although camera traps allow for the collection of millions of images, interpreting such photographs presents a scalability challenge for manual processing. As a result, much of the valuable knowledge stored in these vast data repositories remains untapped. Neural Networks and Deep Learning are areas of study within Artificial Intelligence. Over the past decade, these two disciplines have made significant contributions to image recognition on a global scale. Ecological and wildlife conservation studies can be combined with these new technologies to extract important information from the photographs obtained by camera traps, contributing to the understanding of various natural processes and improving the management of the involved wild areas. Our project aims to develop neural network models to classify animal species in photographs taken with camera traps, addressing large-scale challenges in scientific research.

  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.

  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.
