Dataset of the paper "Machine learning for expert-level image-based identification of very similar species in the hyperdiverse plant bug family Miridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera)"

<p>This dataset contains 3792 images of 26 plant bug (Insecta: Heteroptera: Miridae: Mirini) species used to test the performance of a CNN in species recognition. All jpg files are 1920 pixels on the long size and additionally available as an archive file to facilitate download of the entire dataset.&nbsp;</p> <p>Bar code labels (unique specimen identifiers or USIs) were attached to all examined specimens&nbsp;used for this study. Further information such as additional photographs of habitus and genitalic structures, georeferenced coordinates of each locality, specimens dissected, notes, collecting method can be obtained from the Heteroptera Species Pages (http://research.amnh.org/pbi/heteropteraspeciespage/) which assembles available data from a specimen database and are also provided as an Excel spreadsheet (file _Adelphocoris_CNN_label_data.xlsx).</p>

Image-based automated species identification: Can virtual data augmentation overcome problems of insufficient sampling?

<p></p><p>Automated species identification and delimitation is challenging, particularly in rare and thus often scarcely sampled species, which do not allow sufficient discrimination of infraspecific versus interspecific variation. Typical problems arising from either low or exaggerated interspecific morphological differentiation are best met by automated methods of machine learning that learn efficient and effective species identification from training samples. However, limited infraspecific sampling remains a key challenge also in machine learning.</p> <p>In this study, we assessed whether a data augmentation approach may help to overcome the problem of scarce training data in automated visual species identification. The stepwise augmentation of data comprised image rotation as well as visual and virtual augmentation. The visual data augmentation applies classic approaches of data augmentation and generation of artificial images using a Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) approach. Descriptive feature vectors are derived from bottleneck features of a VGG-16 convolutional neural network (CNN) that are then stepwise reduced in dimensionality using Global Average Pooling and PCA to prevent overfitting. Finally, data augmentation employs synthetic additional sampling in feature space by an oversampling algorithm in vector space (SMOTE). Applied on four different image datasets, which include scarab beetle genitalia (Pleophylla, Schizonycha) as well as wing patterns of bees (Osmia) and cattleheart butterflies (Parides), our augmentation approach outperformed a deep learning baseline approach by means of resulting identification accuracy with non-augmented data as well as a traditional 2D morphometric approach (Procrustes analysis of scarab beetle genitalia).</p><p></p>
