Dataset: Johnston 2024. Images of pinned carabids
Abstract: This dataset contains two groups of images of specimens held in the NEON Biorepository pinned carabid collection: https://biorepo.neonscience.org/portal/collections/misc/collprofiles.php?collid=39 The images are also available from the portal and are linked to the corresponding specimen record in the collection above. The folder titles "JORN" is a near-complete set of species collected by NEON at the Jornada LTER (D14 – JORN) field site in New Mexico. 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. This dataset was used to generate the models in this project: https://github.com/mandrewj/AI-carabids The smaller dataset is more useful for a proof-of-concept model development, and the JORN dataset is better for testing a practical solution in which 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).
This dataset includes 421 records.
