Camera Trap Wildlife Images From Robson Creek Rainforest

Images from two passive infrared wildlife camera traps deployed at the Robson Creek Rainforest SuperSite in Australia's Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. The cameras were operational between March and July 2018, positioned at heights of 1.5 meters and 0.3 meters above ground near a flux tower and acoustic sensors. The site includes a core 1-hectare monitoring plot and a 25-hectare vegetation survey plot.

Use Cases

• Train computer vision models to detect and classify fauna species from camera trap images.
• Analyze temporal activity patterns of wildlife using the deployment period from March to July 2018.
• Study the relationship between fauna presence and specific site features like the flux tower or acoustic sensor locations.
• Correlate wildlife observations with the site's vegetation data from the 25-hectare survey plot.

Strengths

• Data originates from a site within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, a region known for high plant and animal endemism.
• Images were collected using high-quality passive infrared wildlife cameras.
• The site is part of the CTFS-ForestGEO global network of forest research plots.

Limitations

• The temporal coverage is limited to a short deployment period of approximately four months in 2018.
• Only two camera traps were deployed, limiting spatial coverage of the site.
• The dataset includes PNG images and HTML files, suggesting metadata may be unstructured or require parsing.
