Validation Dataset for "Entomoscope 2.0 and ENIMAS 2.0: An Open-Source, AI-Integrated Platform for Rapid and Affordable Insect Digitization"

This repository contains the complete validation dataset used in the manuscript "Entomoscope 2.0 and ENIMAS 2.0: An Open-Source, AI-Integrated Platform for Rapid and Affordable Insect Digitization". The dataset comprises 54 insect specimens digitized using two distinct workflows to benchmark efficiency: Entomoscope 2.0: A low-cost, open-source platform using the AI-integrated ENIMAS 2.0 software. Keyence VHX-7000: A high-end commercial digital microscopy system using a manual workflow. Contents: Raw Images: Original captures from both systems. Processed Images: Output of AI cropping, background removal, and uniform background generation. Morphometric Data: Automated OBB measurements (Entomoscope) vs. Manual measurements (Keyence). Time Logs: Detailed timing data used to calculate the 2.28-fold efficiency speedup reported in the paper. This data is provided to ensure full reproducibility of the study's results and to support the training of future AI models for insect digitization.
