Deployments
1
Field deployment
A streamlined workflow that turns field-collected camera-trap data into reliable, reusable knowledge for long-term monitoring.
2
Image ingestion
Images and core metadata are uploaded to WildObs, where data is harmonised and prepared for analysis.
3
AI-Assisted detection
Computer vision models detect animals and assist with species identification, tailored to Australian wildlife and habitats.
4
Quality verification
Researchers review and validate results to ensure data quality, transparency, and scientific integrity.
5
Standardised analytics
Validated detections are structured into standardised datasets, enabling population analysis, trend monitoring, and modelling.
6
Sharing & reporting
Data products are securely shared through national infrastructure, supporting collaboration, reporting, and decision-making.
Working together at national scale
WildObs partners with leading Australian research and conservation organisations to support large-scale monitoring, data sharing, and ecological research across Australia.
WildObs is a co-investment partnership with the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) through the Planet Research Data Commons (DOI: 10.3565/bvg2-b035). The ARDC is enabled by the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).
