Razvoj analitičnih orodij in upravljanja podatkov za združevanje in izboljšanje projektov s fotopastmi poklicne in državljanske znanosti v Evropi

The objective of the BIG PICTURE project is to support the efforts of European, national, and regional organizations and involved stakeholders in the conservation and management of biodiversity by improving their access to larger volumes of data on animal species that are currently not covered by existing accessible databases. The project addresses the issue from three key perspectives, namely human, technological, and analytical, which create so-called bottlenecks in this field. Through the project, we will create a set of tools that will enable large-scale and efficient processing, sharing, analysis, and use of data. The data will be collected using camera traps (also referred to as “camera-traps” or “CT”), a non-invasive approach that is popular but not yet fully developed. The tools will connect a broader community of individuals, including professional scientists, citizen scientists, and stakeholders. The key objective is to develop a European solution that will be suitable for the European environment (social, legal, institutional, ecological, technological), while also having transfer value to other environments outside Europe.
