iWildCam 2019

Overview

Like iWildCam 2018, this years' competition will be based on data from camera traps: cameras used by biologists to study animals in the wild. iWildCam 2019 will challenge competitors to face the real-world open set problem that occurs when a camera trap is placed in a new geographic region, one where the set of possible species does not perfectly match species seen in previous camera trap data.
