Recent Releases of EcoAssist

EcoAssist - AddaxAI v6.35

Add Gorongosa MOZ model inference code.

Biosphere - Terrestrial Wildlife - Python
Published by PetervanLunteren about 1 month ago

EcoAssist - AddaxAI v6.34

Fix: separating files into subfolders did nothing unless "Export results" was also enabled

In the post-processing step, ticking "Separate files intosubdirectories" on its own had no effect. The destination folder stayed empty. You had to also enable "Export results" for files to actually be sorted into species subfolders. Both options now work independently, as expected.

EcoAssist - EcoAssist v4.4

In previous versions of EcoAssist (v3.0 > v4.3) it was possible to train your own object detection models based on MegaDetector to detect your target species. Although this did work, it wasn't the best approach to develop a species recognition model. It required lots of training data, processing power, time, electricity and wasn't very accurate. Advancing insights revealed that better results can be obtained by using a object classification model to be used in conjunction with the results of MegaDetector. The animals will then be located by MegaDetector, and further classified by your custom model. EcoAssist > v4.2 does support the deployment of a classification model to be used in conjunction with MegaDetector, but training such a model is more complicated and hasn't been incorporated into EcoAssist (yet).
