Citizen portal, archive and analysis tool for multimodal monitoring data
Audiovisual methods are increasingly being used in monitoring programs to observe and describe the loss of biodiversity. This range of methods covers both vertebrates (mammals, birds, amphibians) and invertebrates (insects) in terrestrial and marine habitats. This generates very large amounts of data, which must be archived and processed in real time, if possible, for example in order to develop the basis for recommendations for action as part of downstream analyses. The AI4WildLIVE project aims to bring together the archive, analysis, and citizen science on one portal for the first time.
The following goals are being pursued: Firstly, the establishment of an open access portal solution for the permanent and free archiving of multimodal data from biodiversity monitoring (video, audio, geodata, and other metadata); this involves a permanent link to the long-term Senckenberg research data infrastructure and collection. Secondly, the acceleration of the monitoring process (from data collection to practice) by means of the methods integrated on the portal and a coupled geo-analysis.
In the first phase, the project pursues the in-depth development of a concept and the preparation of an application for a second phase, which will focus on the implementation of the aforementioned objectives. In addition, initial scientific work will be carried out in the project to enable an effective and rapid entry into a possible second phase.
