Google Research has open-sourced SpeciesNet, an AI tool designed to automatically identify wildlife species from camera trap images. Initially part of the Wildlife Insights platform, SpeciesNet was made publicly available a year ago and has since been adopted by researchers globally for conservation efforts. The model, trained on over 65 million labeled images, can classify nearly 2,500 animal categories and works in conjunction with another model, MegaDetector, to process vast amounts of visual data efficiently.
