Simplifying camera trap image analysis with AI

AddaxAI는 생태학자들이 카메라 트랩 이미지와 비디오를 로컬에서 AI 모델로 자동 분석할 수 있게 해주는 오픈소스 플랫폼입니다. MegaDetector 모델을 포함해 아프리카 열대림, 미국 미드웨스트, 호주, 콜롬비아 등 다양한 지역별 종 식별 모델을 제공하며, GPU 가속과 휴먼인더루프 검증 기능도 지원합니다. 각 모델은 특정 프로젝트에 맞춰 개발되었으므로 사용 전 데이터에 대한 충분한 테스트가 권장됩니다. AddaxAI는 생태계 보전 연구에 AI를 적용하는 데 실질적인 도움을 주는 도구로 평가됩니다.

AddaxAI - Simplifying camera trap image analysis with AI

Previously known as EcoAssist. An AI platform to analyse images with machine learning models for automatic detection, so that ecologists can save time and focus on conservation efforts.

I spent Thursday morning this week at Ōruapaeroa-Travis Wetland, the largest freshwater wetland in Ōtautahi-Christchurch city, NZ. Once destined for more housing, the local community's protests led to the city buying up the land and restoring it for nature.

I'm helping PhD student Tommy Copeland to monitor the invertebrates of the wetland. Tommy's both repeating traditional survey methods used in a survey in the mid-1990s, and trying out new methods.

Enter Victor Anton from Wildlife.AI, a NZ-based non-profit dedicated to using artificial intelligence tech to improve conservation. On Thursday Victor gave Tommy one of their first field-ready prototypes of a new camera system with app control and built in machine learning image recognition. Tommy's going to be trialling it to see how he, with the Travis community group, can monitor invertebrates with this camera system.

Stay tuned.
