Human experts vs. machines in taxa recognition
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
The step of expert taxa recognition currently slows down the response time of many bioassessments. ...
In our study, we investigate both the differences in accuracy and in the identification logic of taxonomic experts and machines. ...
We expect that automatic methods can replace human experts in the routine-like identification of the easiest taxa already in the near future, while the human experts or genetic methods can concentrate ...

Sharing taxonomic expertise between natural history collections using image recognition
2022
Research Ideas and Outcomes
Such an ecosystem will facilitate sharing taxonomic expertise among institutions by offering image datasets that are correctly identified by their in-house taxonomic experts. ...
Together with openly accessible machine learning algorithms and easy to use workbenches, this will allow other institutes to train image recognition algorithms and thereby compensate for the lacking expertise ...
In contrast to identifications done by human experts, machine identifications not only deliver taxonomic names, but also metadata about the probability of the determination, the range of taxa considered ...

Next-generation phenomics for the Tree of Life
2013
PLOS Currents
Phenotypic characters also are a rich source of biodiversity data for tree building, and they enable scientists to reconstruct the evolutionary history of organisms, including most fossil taxa, for which ...
In contrast to recent advances in molecular sequencing, which has become faster and cheaper through recent technological advances, phenotypic data collection remains often prohibitively slow and expensive ...

Machine vision for automated optical recognition and classification of pollen grains or other singulated microscopic objects
2008
2008 15th International Conference on Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice
Our system aims to remove the need for laborious, time-consuming, and inaccurate counting of pollen grains by humans with a low-cost machine solution. It can deal with slides obtained using different ...
The location and identification of singulated objects on microscope slides is a problem that is common to many applications, including recognition of pollen. ...
In a comparison with human experts on the same images, our system produces comparable output, with significantly less variation that different humans. ...
