Google released a new AI tool this week, designed to identify animal species to help with wildlife monitoring.
On Monday, the tech giant announced the release of SpeciesNet, an open source model for wildlife biologists. SpeciesNet consists of a model for identifying objects in footage from cameras that monitor wildlife and a second model for classifying those objects into animal species.
Since 2019, wildlife biologists have had access to SpeciesNet though a Google Cloud-based tool called Wildlife Insights. On Monday, SpeciesNet was released to the public as an open source model.
