Tagged image repository
The WildObs Tagged Image Repository provides access to a high-quality collection of wildlife camera-trap images that have been carefully labelled with species identifications and supporting metadata. Hosted by the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA), the repository supports both ecological research and the development of automated species recognition models.

Turning tagged images into insight
The Tagged Image Repository makes verified camera-trap images available for reuse, analysis, and model development, supporting consistent and reproducible research outcomes.
Verified species labels
Images are labelled with expert-verified species identifications, providing a reliable foundation for ecological analysis and machine learning workflows.
Rich supporting metadata
Each image is accompanied by contextual metadata, including location, date, and time, enabling spatial, temporal, and behavioural analyses.
Research-ready datasets
Curated subsets of tagged images can be accessed and reused across projects, reducing duplication of effort and supporting comparative studies.
Trusted national hosting
The repository is hosted by the Atlas of Living Australia, ensuring long-term preservation, discoverability, and alignment with national biodiversity infrastructure.
How the repository is used
The repository enables tagged images to be reused for machine learning, ecological analysis, and conservation applications.
AI model training and evaluation
The repository serves as a high-quality training and testing resource for researchers developing computer vision models for automated species recognition.
Ecological research and monitoring
Verified image data supports ecological studies such as species occupancy modelling, behaviour analysis, and environmental reporting.
Targeted image access for behavioral analysis
Researchers can download specific subsets of images based on species, region, or time period to support focused analyses or model development.
A growing collection of tagged image datasets
Browse tagged camera-trap image datasets hosted through the WildObs Tagged Image Repository. This collection will continue to expand as new datasets are curated and published.
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).
