Camera Trap Wildlife Images from Samford Peri-Urban SuperSite 2017

Filled with camera trap images from an one-hectare plot in the Samford Peri-Urban SuperSite, collected over a four-week period in April-May 2017. Two Reconyx camera models were deployed at different heights, capturing individuals from 10 observed species. The data includes PNG image files and associated CSV metadata.

Use Cases

• Train a computer vision model on PNG images to classify the 10 observed species, such as Trichosurus Vulpecula or Vulpes Vulpes.
• Analyze temporal activity patterns of species like Macropus rufogriseus using timestamps from the CSV metadata.
• Compare detection rates between the two camera models (Reconyx UltraFire WR6 and Hyperfire HC600) deployed at different heights.
• Study faunal biodiversity in the open eucalypt forest by analyzing species presence across the one-hectare plot.

Strengths

• Images were captured using two high-quality passive infrared wildlife camera models.
• Data collection covers a specific four-week time frame in 2017.
• Observations include individuals from 10 distinct species.

Limitations

• The dataset size, row count, and specific column structure are unknown.
• The temporal coverage is limited to a short, one-month period in 2017.
• Geographic scope is restricted to a single one-hectare plot within the Samford site.
