How The Field Museum Unlocks New Research Possibilities with Vision AI

Roboflow · Beginner ·👁️ Computer Vision ·5mo ago
If you have millions of insect specimens, how do you digitize them and transform the imagery into useful research data? In this interview with Elizabeth Postema, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Field Museum of Natural History, we explored how researchers from several institutions are using computer vision to digitize over 8 million insect specimens, turning them into valuable data for large-scale scientific research. ​Elizabeth shared insights into the development of DrawerDissect, a custom software solution that automates the transcription of specimen data and enables rapid analysis of insec…
