Apr 1, 2025April 2025 (2025-04) monthly summary for microsoft/CameraTraps: Delivered substantial model integration and release-readiness work. Implemented TIMM and DeepFAUNE/DFNE integration for image classification, including dataset refactors and dependency updates to streamline the classification pipeline. Integrated Deepfaune classifier and detector models with new configurations, weight URLs, licensing attributions, and updated model zoo documentation. Managed the DFNE lifecycle (removal for release and planned reintroduction with updated docs) to align with release objectives. Enhanced the detection pipeline with result merging fixes and normalized bounding box coordinates for YOLOv8 base model, improving detection outputs. Executed release housekeeping and repository maintenance to support smooth deployment and compliance (version bumps to 1.2.1/1.2.2 and cleanup).
