Open-source AI model detects UK wildlife from camera traps

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Researchers have developed an open-source object detection model specifically for identifying UK mammals and birds from camera trap images. This model, trained on over 48,000 labeled instances, aims to democratize wildlife monitoring by providing a free alternative to commercial platforms. It achieves high accuracy, with a mean Average Precision of 0.984, and is designed for ecologists with no prior machine-learning experience. AI

IMPACT Provides ecologists with a free, accessible tool for biodiversity monitoring, potentially accelerating wildlife research.
