相机陷阱长期被野生动物研究者用于非侵入式监测动物行为、种群动态、栖息地利用和物种多样性。尽管野外数据采集能力大幅提升,但数据处理与管理方法,尤其是机器学习/人工智能工具的应用仍面临挑战,包括数据量庞大、标注精度要求高、环境条件变化影响数据质量,以及将ML/AI工具集成到现有工作流中需领域定制与计算资源。本文提出一个低资源、本地部署的相机陷阱数据处理流水线,针对计算能力有限、缺乏技术专长的小型研究团队,提供可落地的解决方案。通过聚焦实用路径,该流程涵盖数据传输、智能推理与结果评估,帮助研究人员从持续增长的相机陷阱数据中提取有意义的科学洞察。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Camera traps have long been used by wildlife researchers to monitor and study animal behavior, population dynamics, habitat use, and species diversity in a non-invasive and efficient manner. While data collection from the field has increased with new tools and capabilities, methods to develop, process, and manage the data, especially the adoption of ML/AI tools, remain challenging. These challenges include the sheer volume of data generated, the need for accurate labeling and annotation, variability in environmental conditions affecting data quality, and the integration of ML/AI tools into existing workflows that often require domain-specific customization and computational resources. This paper provides a guide to a low-resource pipeline to process camera trap data on-premise, incorporating ML/AI capabilities tailored for small research groups with limited resources and computational expertise. By focusing on practical solutions, the pipeline offers accessible approaches for data transmission, inference, and evaluation, enabling researchers to discover meaningful insights from their ever-increasing camera trap datasets.
