Dataset Card: Taiwan Wildlife Imagery Dataset(Continual Learning)

Dataset Summary

This dataset is primarily designed for training and evaluating Taiwan wildlife image classification models. The total storage size is approximately 3.63GB, comprising wildlife monitoring imagery captured via infrared trigger cameras across various altitudinal gradients in Taiwan.

The dataset focuses on medium-to-large terrestrial mammals (e.g., Reeves's Muntjac, Formosan Macaque) and ground-dwelling birds. To fully comply with information security protocols and Double-blind Review principles, all precise geographical coordinates have been generalized. Furthermore, any accidental human captures, patrol footprints, or proprietary equipment identifiers have been strictly filtered out to ensure complete privacy and metadata anonymity. This dataset operates independently and has no association or data linkage with any specific school, academic institution, or commercial enterprise.
