Camera trap data recorded during pilot studies in the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen - pilot 3
What's in it
Camera trapping pilot 3 was a test of the effect of lens angle, as well as a test of the influence of camera height and being deployed outside herbivore exclosures (security, herbivore damage, more varied habitat types). At each of three locations (all in the area Westweg of the Amsterdam Water Supply Dunes), both a regular lens Snyper Commander camera (52°) and a wide lens Wilsus Tradenda camera (100°) were deployed (n = 6 cameras). The cameras were placed at different heights at each location (30 cm, 40 cm and 50 cm above the ground). A month of data from this pilot was annotated, from 1st March 2023 to 31st of March 2023. This led to a total of 16,020 annotated images over 31 days from six cameras. A detailed description of the dataset can be found in a data paper published in the journal Data in Brief (Evans et al. 2024, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.2024.110544). Data have been standardized to Darwin Core using the camtrapdp R package and only include observations (and associated media) of animals. Excluded are records that document blank or unclassified media, vehicles and observations of humans.
