About Camera trap sequences: test your species ID skills
Camera traps are used to collect photos of animals in the wild by taking a burst of photos when triggered by motion. Projects using camera traps can generate thousands of photos so by enlisting volunteers(you!)to help us, we can quickly gather lots of information about what is in the photos, whilst letting you be the first to see some candid wildlife photos.
When camera traps sense something moving, they quickly a series of photographs in a sequence. We are especially interested in whether seeing images in the context of a sequence makes it easier to identify what is in them.
This project is using two sets of photos- one set from MammalWeb based in County Durham, UK; and the other from fellow Zooniverse project, Snapshot Serengeti, based in Tanzania.
