Random versus Game Trail-Based Camera Trap Placement Strategy for Monitoring Terrestrial Mammal Communities
Camera trap surveys exclusively targeting features of the landscape that increase the probability of photographing one or several focal species are commonly used to draw inferences on the richness, composition and structure of entire mammal communities. However, these studies ignore expected biases in species detection arising from sampling only a limited set of potential habitat features. In t...
متن کاملMonitoring the Status and Trends of Tropical Forest Terrestrial Vertebrate Communities from Camera Trap Data: A Tool for Conservation
Reducing the loss of biodiversity is key to ensure the future well being of the planet. Indicators to measure the state of biodiversity should come from primary data that are collected using consistent field methods across several sites, longitudinal, and derived using sound statistical methods that correct for observation/detection bias. In this paper we analyze camera trap data collected betw...
متن کاملRelative effectiveness of seveRal Bait and tRap types foR assessing teRRestRial small mammal communities in neotRopical RainfoRest
The relative effectiveness of five bait types (peanut butter, yuca, plantain, fresh beef, and dried, salted fish) and four trap types (Victor, Sherman, Tomahawk, and pitfall) for capturing small mammals in lowland Neotropical rainforests was evaluated. Peanut butter was the most effective bait and Victor rat traps the most effective trap. Each captured more species and individuals than any othe...
متن کاملAutomatic Camera Placement for Image-Based Modeling
We present an automatic camera placement method for generating image-based models from scenes with known geometry. Our method first approximately determines the set of surfaces visible from a given viewing area and then selects a small set of appropriate camera positions to sample the scene from. We define a quality measure for a surface as seen, or covered, from the given viewing area. Along w...
متن کاملSummary of results on optimal camera placement for boundary monitoring
We consider the problems of placing cameras so that every point on a perimeter, that is not necessarily planar, is covered by at least one camera while using the smallest number of cameras. This is accomplished by aligning the edges of the cameras’ fields of view with points on the boundary under surveillance. Taken into consideration are visibility concerns, where features such as mountains mu...
