SpeciesNet

March 4, 2011 - Google has open-sourced an artificial intelligence model called SpeciesNet, designed to identify animal species by analyzing photos taken by infrared camera traps. This provides powerful technical support for wildlife researchers around the world and is expected to significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of wildlife monitoring. An infrared camera trap is a commonly used monitoring tool in wildlife research. It consists of a digital camera connected to an infrared sensor that can automatically take pictures of animals as they pass by, thus providing researchers with important data about wildlife populations. However, these camera traps produce...
