🐺 Overview
The TrapperAI model is responsible for the detection and classification of 18 European mammal species with a 95% F1-score and 93% mAP50-95. This model is based on the fine-tuned YOLOv8-m model and can be loaded and utilized directly through the Ultralytics package interface or via the TRAPPER ecosystem (TrapperAI Worker).
The dataset used for model training and evaluation comprised 401,458 camera trap images from Poland, Germany, Sweden, Austria, and Switzerland. The data repository consisted of 5,680 deployments and 2,944 locations.
List of supported species:
- Bird
- Cat
- Chamois
- Dog
- Eurasian Lynx
- Eurasian Red Squirrel
- European Badger
- European Mouflon
- Fallow Deer
- Gray Wolf
- Hare
- Marten
- Moose
- Red Deer
- Red Fox
- Reindeer
- Roe Deer
- Wild Boar
The recommended image resolution for the model is 1024px. The model's performance enables the processing of ~30,000 images in one hour using a single NVIDIA GPU with more than 11 GB of vRAM.
📥 Installation
$ python3 -m venv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip install ultralytics dill ipython # IPython is optional
🚀 Usage
In [1]: from ultralytics import YOLO
In [2]: model = YOLO("TrapperAI-v02.2024-YOLOv8-m.pt")
In [3]: results = model.predict("fox36-Vulpes-vulpes.jpg")
In [4]: len(results) # how many animals were detected
Out[4]: 1
In [5]: results[0].show() # open image viewer with detection and classification results
In [6]: results[0].boxes.conf # return best confidence score for detection and classification results
Out[6]: tensor([0.9558], device='cuda:0')
In [7]: results[0].boxes.cls # return index value for detection and classification results
Out[7]: tensor([14.], device='cuda:0') # Red Fox
If your image contains more than one object (animal), you will need to iterate through the results list to obtain the confidence score and species index value for each detected object.
