Abstract:One of the oldest and largest biodiversity-related citizen science (CS) projects is eBird (https://ebird.org/home), developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. It provides a mobile application for birdwatchers to record checklists of when, where, and how they have seen or heard birds. The Cornell Lab has also developed a mobile application, Merlin, which uses a deep convolutional neural network to help users automatically identify bird species from photos, sounds (converted to spectrograms), or descriptions. … Show more
