Abstract:
Infrared camera trapping has been used worldwide for wildlife monitoring, and massive wildlife pictures and video clips have been obtained. However, in many nature reserves, the infrared camera data management is still faced with the difficulties massive infrared data, primitive storage mode, lack of data technology, blank data mining and so on. So, how to scientifically store and manage massive infrared image data, professionally and efficiently complete data identification and scientific analysis, and timely feedback the analysis results to researchers and managers has become a major problem in infrared camera monitoring. Based on above problems, Sichuan Nature Conservation Infrared Camera Data Management System (CDMS) could effectively solve those problems. The use needs of the vast nature reserves, and the functional advantages of different databases and data information platforms are taken into account in the research and development design of the CDMS. At present, CDMS is designed for interactive use of various types of nature reserves in Sichuan province, integrating the functions of standardized storage, scientific management, intelligent query, scientific analysis and visual display, and other functions, aiming at promoting the conversion of wildlife infrared camera images into effective data, realizing efficient analysis and deep mining of data, and providing professional technical and management support services for wildlife research, conservation, management and the popular science education. The establishment of this system will benefit data analysis and sharing, collaboration and information services for wildlife monitoring in Sichuan province, other provinces in China and other parts of the world. In this paper, the function module, main composition, characteristics and advantages of the platform in the data management system, application results and data service system of the system are briefly introduced.
