Csiro Spider Identification App. Data 61, csiro's data research and engineering arm builds the technical capabilities of the app. Critterpedia’s creators teamed up with australia’s national science agency, csiro, and data61 in order to develop an algorithm made up of hundreds of thousands of different images.
They’re doing this by developing a “ tool that uses machine learning and citizen science to. Critterpedia’s algorithm will instantly identify it as well as give threat levels. It started out as passing thought for developers nic and murray scarce, who hit upon the idea when a visiting relative quizzed them endlessly about the australian wildlife they were seeing.
Critterpedia is an app that uses an ai algorithm to determine the species of different spiders and snakes, acting like shazam, but for native creatures.
Australia’s state science authority csiro has now worked with some local entrepreneurs to develop an app, critterpedia, a kind of reptile wikipedia that works in a similar way to the music identification app shazam: A system trained with an algorithm then classifies it, providing information on the family, genus or species. A new app dubbed critterpedia aims to act as “shazam for snakes and spiders using a trained algorithm to compare your snaps against a library of arachnid and reptilian. Csiro is best known as being the folks who named new species of flies based with marvel characters.
