maxsitt/insect-detect
Detection models and Python scripts for automated insect monitoring with the Insect Detect DIY camera trap.
This system helps entomologists, ecologists, and conservationists automatically monitor insect populations in their natural habitats. You can build a low-cost camera trap that takes continuous video input and outputs high-resolution images of detected insects, along with detailed movement data, without needing constant manual observation. This is ideal for researchers or citizen scientists tracking insect activity over time.
Use this if you need an affordable, automated way to capture images and movement data of insects in the field for research or monitoring.
Not ideal if you need a fully commercial, pre-built solution or are uncomfortable with assembling hardware and basic software setup.
