论文摘要
现代技术的开发和应用是对自然栖息地和景观中物种有效监测的重要基础，以追踪生态系统，物种社区和人群的发展，并分析变化的原因。为了使用诸如相机陷阱距离采样等方法估算动物丰度，根据3D（三维）测量，自然栖息地的空间信息至关重要。此外，3D信息通过摄像机陷阱提高了动物检测的准确性。这项研究为3D摄像机捕获提供了一种新颖的方法，该方法具有高度优化的硬件和软件。这种方法采用立体声愿景来推断自然栖息地的3D信息，并被指定为监测生物多样性（Socrates）的立体相机陷阱。对苏格拉底的全面评估不仅显示了$ 3.23 \％$的改善动物检测（边界盒$ \ text {map} _ {75} $），而且还可以使用相机陷阱距离采样来估算动物丰度。苏格拉底的软件和文档可在https://github.com/timmh/socrates上提供
The development and application of modern technology is an essential basis for the efficient monitoring of species in natural habitats and landscapes to trace the development of ecosystems, species communities, and populations, and to analyze reasons of changes. For estimating animal abundance using methods such as camera trap distance sampling, spatial information of natural habitats in terms of 3D (three-dimensional) measurements is crucial. Additionally, 3D information improves the accuracy of animal detection using camera trapping. This study presents a novel approach to 3D camera trapping featuring highly optimized hardware and software. This approach employs stereo vision to infer 3D information of natural habitats and is designated as StereO CameRA Trap for monitoring of biodivErSity (SOCRATES). A comprehensive evaluation of SOCRATES shows not only a $3.23\%$ improvement in animal detection (bounding box $\text{mAP}_{75}$) but also its superior applicability for estimating animal abundance using camera trap distance sampling.
