Caught in the Camera Trap: Navigating the Myriad of Options
23 January / Thursday
16:00 CET / Online
Wildlife camera traps are an important data collection instrument for conservationists.
Their applications are manifold, including the detection of the presence of (rare) species, identification of species, estimation of population sizes, and the early detection of human-wildlife conflicts and the subsequent initiation of preventive action.
The breakthrough of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has led to a myriad of solutions to identify and count species. However, from a practitioner's perspective, it is not always easy to find a solution that meets their specific needs.
In this webinar, we provide an overview of known solutions, their strengths and weaknesses and structure the most important criteria. The outcome is a decision tree that helps practitioners to articulate their needs and guide them through the ever-growing number of camera-trap solutions.
