Scout Docs#

Wild Me’s Scout is designed to support processing aerial survey data taken from planes. Current machine learning is focused on supporting terrestrial surveys.

With Scout, you can:

  • Ingest high volumes of .ARW and .JPG images collected from survey cameras

  • Group images as “Tasks” that can be assigned to other users (e.g., image annotators) or machine learning (ML) models for bounding box creation and species labeling

  • Review and ground truth annotated images for accuracy

  • Draw division lines for overlapping image sequences with annotations

  • Export .CSV data files for statistical analysis

Where Should I Start?#

  • Are you planning on setting up Scout on your computer and managing the system, including system updates? You should start with the System Administrator section.

  • Are you going to manage image upload, user accounts, and data management? Do you have the final say in annotation state? You should start with Lab Lead section.

  • Are you going to be reviewing images and editing annotations? You should start with the Annotators section.
