LIFEPLAN: A worldwide biodiversity sampling design

Samples for automated species identification Image data is in JPG format, in sequences of five images taken in a burst, approximately 1 sec- ond apart. The camera is triggered by movement, and images are taken both during the day and at night (Fig 8). Audio recording data consist of regular one-minute segments, 48-hour continuous record- ings, and opportunistic recordings in between regular segments that are triggered by bat calls. Audio recordings are converted to WAV format for analysis. Animal species can be recognised from spectrogram images of sounds by machine learning algorithms (Fig 9; [9]), as can camera trap images The LIFEPLAN automatic species identification software will be published else- where and made openly accessible.
