Export Data

Exporting your labeled data for advanced analysis and ML training

To export a CSV or JSON file of your Image, Object, and Label metadata, perform the following steps:

1. Select the View/Filters you'd like to apply to your export

2. Click on the "Export Data" button on the bottom of the Filters panel (bottom left of screen)

3. Select which format you'd like to export your data in

Filters

This will download your data according to what you have filtered, so it's important to be aware of which filters you have and/off.

Supported export formats

CSV

CSV export is helpful for ecological data analysis in Excel and CamtrapR. It does not contain bounding-box information for the Objects.

COCO for Camera Traps

COCO for Camera Traps is helpful for pulling Image and annotation data into a machine learning training workflow. The Object records (annotations) do contain bounding box information.

Downloading Images

To download an individual image, simply click the three dots above the image, and click "Download Image"

Exporting large numbers of images

Currently you need to have special AWS permissions and some basic familiarity with a command line interface to export/download large numbers of image files. If you need access, please reach out to Nathaniel at [e-mail] for support.

The image export process entails the following steps:

1. Procure the necessary AWS credentials

2. Install the AWS CLI and configure a new named "profile" (the profile name must be animl)

3. Clone and follow the setup instructions in the animl-analytics GitHub repository

4. Run the utils/download_images.py script as described in the animl-analytics documentation
