Australian Camera Trap Data (ACTD)

The dataset comprises images captured from camera traps deployed across various Victoria, Australia regions to monitor native wildlife and feral species. These images were reviewed and validated by ecological experts. This dataset addresses data imbalance issues in species classification by grouping species into higher-level categories (e.g., birds, small mammals) and focusing on region-specific species and feral animal detection. It includes metadata such as species labels, timestamps, and environmental context, enabling researchers to train and evaluate deep learning models for biodiversity monitoring.
