Dataset Summary
This dataset contains the LILA BC full camera trap information with notebook (lilabc_CT.ipynb) exploring available data. The last run of this (in commit 010ecf0) uses and produces the lila CSVs found here.
More details on this are below in Data Instances.
Looks at potential test sets constructed from 7 different LILA datasets (uses data/potential-test-sets/lila_image_urls_and_labels.csv (sha256:3fdf87ceea75f8720208a95350c3c70831a6c1c745a92bb68c7f2c3239e4c455) to separate them out): We're specifically interested in the following datasets identified in the spreadsheet as labeled at the image-level.
- Snapshot Safari 2024 Expansion
- Ohio Small Animals
- Desert Lion Conservation Camera Traps
- Orinoquia Camera Traps
- SWG Camera Traps 2018-2020
- Island Conservation Camera Traps
- ENA24-detection
There are 2,867,312 images in this subset (once humans and non-creatures are removed).
NOAA Puget Sound Nearshore Fish 2017-2018 could be interesting for the combined categories, though it is very general (has only three labels: fish, crab, fish_and_crab). It also isn't included in the CSV, so not explored further.
More details on this provided in Test Data Instances, below.
Repo file description at commit 87e2e4d when we were considering it for BioCLIP v1 testing:
Images have been deduplicated and reduced down to species designation, with the main CSV filtered to just those with species labels and only one animal per image. This was done by pulling the first instance of an animal so that there are not repeat images of the same animal from essentially the same time.
The deduplicated collection (lila_image_urls_and_labels_species.csv) has 6,365,985 images (compared to the full dataset of 16,833,848 at time of download). Its associated taxonomy mapping release.

Notes:
dataset_nameis one ofdesert-lion,ENA24,island,ohio-small-animal, ororinoquia. Each collection of<dataset_name>-<size_indicator>CSVs are created in their correspondinglilabc_test-<dataset_name>notebook.- All the "balanced" datasets and
ENA24-balanced-small.csvhave 12 images per species (or family, in the case of the island-balanced CSV).ENA24-balanced.csvhas 56 images per species. upper-boundare max 10K images per species, with no minimum (this often means the smallest classification class has just 1 image).upper-lower-boundCSVs are max 10K images per species and minimum of 10.- ENA24 has a minimum of 56 images per species and a maximum of 893, so
ENA24-imbalanced.csvis just all images containing a single species. - The island camera traps were mostly only labeled to family level, so there are common name and family versions. The
imbalancedsets are just all images with common name or family designation, respectively. Thelower-boundare only those with at least ten images per class (by common name and family), andbalancedis just 12 images per family.
Data Instances
The data/lila_image_urls_and_labels.csv has all images with non-taxa (identified by scientific_name, common_name, and kingdom are null) or human original labels filtered out and has 10,104,328 images.
7,521,712 have full 7-rank taxa, with 891 unique 7-tuple strings (908 unique including subranks), with 890 unique scientific names -- this count is from before humans were removed (there are 257,159 images with humans listed and they do have full 7-rank taxa).
Final version at this stage has 9,849,119 images, 907 unique scientific names.

Test Data Instances
data/potential-test-sets/lila_image_urls_and_labels.csv: Reduced down to the datasets of interest listed below; all those with original_label "empty" or null scientific_name (these had non-taxa labels) were removed.
Additionally, added a multi_species column (boolean to indicate multiple species are present in the image--it gets listed once for each species in the image) and a count of how many different species are in each of those images (num_species column).
There are 367 unique scientific names in this subset (355 by full 7-rank), 184 unique among just those labeled at the image-level (180 by full 7-rank) (as indicated by the CSV).
This was then subdivided into CSVs for each of the target datasets (data/potential-test-sets/<dataset_name>_image_urls_and_labels.csv).
These were initially identified from our master spreadsheet, identifying image-level labeled datasets and those that are a meaningful measure of our biodiversity-focused model (e.g., includes rare species--those less-commonly seen, targeting areas with greater biodiversity).
- Snapshot Safari 2024 Expansion -- actually labeled by sequence, so not a good choice for testing
- Ohio Small Animals
- Desert Lion Conservation Camera Traps
- Orinoquia Camera Traps
- SWG Camera Traps 2018-2020 -- actually labeled by sequence, so not a good choice for testing
- Island Conservation Camera Traps
- ENA24-detection
Multi-species counts (full):
num_species
1.0 2753832
2.0 114825
3.0 13995
4.0 1704
5.0 230
14.0 42
For Image-level labels:
num_species
1.0 305821
2.0 1154
3.0 3
Looks like we'll have about 306K images across the 5 datasets that have image-level labels.
Data Fields
[More Information Needed]
Each of the <dataset_name>_<type> CSVs has the following columns.
dataset_name: name of the LILA BC dataseturl_gcp,url_aws,url_azureare URLs to potentially access the image, we recommendurl_aws.image_id: unique identifier for the image.sequence_id: ID of the sequence to which the image belongs.location_id: ID of the location at which the camera was placed.frame_num: generally 0, 1, or 2, indicates order of image within a sequence.original_label: label initially assigned to the image.scientific_name: genus species of the animal in the image. For the island CSV, lowest rank taxa available, generally family.common_name: vernacular name of the animal in the image. For the island CSV, this is generally for the family, but it's a mix.kingdom: kingdom of the animal in the image.phylum: phylum of the animal in the image.class: class of the animal in the image.order: order of the animal in the image.family: family of the animal in the image.genus: genus of the animal in the image. About half null in the island CSVs.species: species of the animal in the image. Mostly null in the island CSVs.num_sp_images: number of images of that species in the dataset. For the island CSVs, instead ofnum_sp_imagesthere arenum_fam_imagesandnum_cn_imagesrepresenting the number of images for the family or common name, respectively.
Additionally, the ohio-small-animals CSVs have a filename column defined as OH_sm_animals_<filename in url_aws>.
