Florida Wildlife Camera Trap Dataset

Understand

Trail camera imagery has increasingly gained popularity amongst biologists for conservation and ecological research.

• Minimal human interference required to operate camera traps allows capturing unbiased species activities.
• Several studies - based on human and wildlife interactions, migratory patterns of various species, risk of extinction in endangered populations - are limited by the lack of rich data and the time-consuming nature of manually annotating trail camera imagery.
• We introduce a challenging wildlife camera trap classification dataset collected from two different locations in Southwestern Florida, consisting of 104,495 images featuring visually similar species, varying illumination conditions, skewed class distribution, and including samples of endangered species, i.e.
