Overview
This dataset contains 118,554 images from AHDriFT camera traps in Ohio. The AHDriFT system uses a fence to guide small animals into an enclosure containing a downward-facing camera.
Labels are provided for 45 species. The most common labels are Eastern garter snake (31,899 images), song sparrow (14,567 images), meadow vole (14,169 images), and blank (11,448 images).
There are 168 unique location IDs in the dataset, each representing a camera. Two or three cameras placed in a linear or Y-array make up a deployment; for example, the location IDs “KPC1”, “KPC2”, and “KPC3” are different cameras in the same deployment.
