IAS pilot - Observations of alien plant species using a vehicle-mounted camera system in Flanders (Belgium)
Listed in GBIF
IAS pilot - Observations of alien plant species using a vehicle-mounted camera system in Flanders (Belgium) is an occurrence dataset published by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO).
Description
It is part of the Biodiversa IAS pilot project (2023-2027), that implemented the monitoring of invasive alien plants using a vehicle-mounted camera system in various countries across Europe. Specifically, the CamAlien camera system (Dyrmann et al. 2024) was mounted on a car to capture images of the roadside vegetation.
Data have been standardized to Darwin Core. Issues with the dataset can be reported at github.com/inbo/ias-pilot/issues. Images from the cameras were processed with image recognition algorithms provided through Pl@ntNet (Espitalier et al. 2025).
