Is it possible to get a dump of all of the classified images?

    Hello,

    My name is Luke. I'm a software engineer specialized in machine learning. A zookeeper friend turned me on to this site. As a side project, I'd like to build an automated image classifier that can take camera trap images and classify them. I think of the problem as having a soft and hard solution. The soft solution is a binary "is animal" vs "not an animal" classification. The hard solution is classification of different animals like "is lion" vs "is tiger" vs "not an animal."

    I was wondering, is there a convenient way to download every classified image ever done? I'd need to get >= 5000 classified images per class to train a decent classifier.

    Hi Luke,

    We moderators in this project have no access to the database or downloadings. As far as I know, Zooniverse has already at least one this kind of project ongoing, with their team together with scientists. Thus I suggest you contact Zooniverse on their site, their team possibly can help you forward with your project 😃
