“…These frameworks are extremely flexible, well‐supported, and surprisingly approachable. As a result, many recent projects have also coalesced around these two frameworks with great success, including efforts to segment leaves (Younis et al, 2020; Triki et al, 2020, 2021; Guo et al, 2021; Hussein et al, 2021b; Gu et al, 2022; Ott and Lautenschlager, 2022), segment plant tissue (Love et al, 2021; Goëau et al, 2022; Milleville et al, 2023), isolate plant organs (Davis et al, 2020; Pearson et al, 2020; Triki et al, 2020; Ott and Lautenschlager, 2022), extract specimen label data (Milleville et al, 2023), isolate diseased or damaged leaf tissue (Kaur et al, 2022; Mu et al, 2022; Kavitha Lakshmi and Savarimuthu, 2023), measure bird skeletons (Weeks et al, 2023), isolate preserved snakes (Curlis et al, 2022), segment fossils (Panigrahi et al, 2022), or remotely monitor phenology (Mann et al, 2022). However, rather than relying on a single machine learning architecture to extract trait and archival data from specimens, we developed a modular framework of seven different machine learning algorithms that work in tandem to comprehensively process each image (Table 2, Figure 1).…”
