## Description

Open-Insect is curated to benchmark open-set recognition of novel species in biodiversity monitoring, with a focus on insects. It is consists of URLs pointing to image files compiled from the [Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)](https://www.gbif.org/) as well as other metadata such as latitude, longitude, GBIF speciesKey, and label used to train the classifier. Open-Insect partially builds on a subset of [the AMI dataset](https://zenodo.org/records/11358689).

Run this [download script](https://github.com/RolnickLab/Open-Insect/blob/main/download.sh) to download this huggingface dataset and the original images. 

It consists of in-distribution (ID), out-of-distribution (OOD), and auxiliary data (AUX) for three regions: Northeastern North America (NE-America), Western Europe (W-Europe), and Central America (C-America). 

For C-America, Open-Insect also includes 197 images recently collected from Barro Colorado Island (BCI), Panama. It includes 133 species, 59 of which are likely undescribed by science. This OOD-BCI split is to provide a maximally realistic test case for open-set recognition of novel species in biodiversity monitoring. This dataset is hosted at [huggingface](https://huggingface.co/datasets/yuyan-chen/open-insect-bci).


## Dataset Configurations and Splits

This dataset consists of metadata of 3 regions, Northeastern North America (ne-america), Western Europe (w-europe), and Central America (c-america), and links to download the original images. 

### The In-Distribution (ID) Set

For each region, the in-distribution data (`train_id`, `val_id`, and `test_id`) are from [the AMI dataset](https://zenodo.org/records/11358689), which is licensed under the MIT License.


### Out-of-Distribution and Auxiliary Data

The auxiliary and out-of-distribution (OOD) images used in this dataset are sourced from the [Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)](https://www.gbif.org/).
