Images of pinned carabids from the NEON Biorepository

<p>This dataset contains two groups of images of specimens held in the NEON Biorepository:</p> <p>https://biorepo.neonscience.org/portal/collections/misc/collprofiles.php?collid=39</p> <p>The images are also available from the portal and are linked to the corresponding specimen record in the collection above.</p> <p>The folder titles "JORN" is a near-complete set of species colleced by NEON at the Jornada field site in New Mexico.&nbsp; The folder titled "Carabid data" is a pared down version of 5 large species of carabids that do not all occur in the same place.</p> <p>This dataset was used to generate the models in this project: https://github.com/mandrewj/AI-carabids</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The smaller dataset is more useful for a proof-of-concept model development, and the JORN dataset is better for testing a practical solution where one could use computer vision to identify all carabids from a single field site (though this field site is among the lowest species diversity of all NEON sites).</p>
