Species Identification Software

Automatically Identify Animals From Images, Audio, or eDNA With AI-Powered Species Identification Software

Our AI-powered species identification software transforms raw ecological observations into verified species data insights. From wildlife cameras, acoustic sensors, to environmental DNA, our automated species ID engine merges all your data sources to reduce manual workload, increase confidence, and support compliance or conservation decisions.

Automated Species Identification

Automatically Detect and Classify Animal Species Using AI-Powered Species Identification Tools

Dealing with thousands of images, audio recordings or eDNA samples can overload any ecological team. Our species identification software automates recognition, drastically reducing manual effort while maintaining scientific reliability. Simply upload your datasets, and the system automatically detects and classifies species across modalities, producing species-level outputs ready to feed into your monitoring, reporting, or decision workflows.

Instant Species ID

Detect species from images, audio or genetic data with one unified tool.

Scalable Processing

Efficiently analyse large volumes of data without manual bottlenecks.

Fallback Identification

When species-level certainty is low, default to genus or family level to reduce misclassification.

Species Idenitication Validation

Validate Your Species Identification Outputs with Expert Review

Even the strongest AI models face uncertainty, especially when data is ambiguous. Our software highlights identifications with low confidence and pushes them into a review loop, routing them to an expert for confirmation, correction or rejection. Experts can intervene, correct errors, or add context. That way, your species-level outputs remain precise, auditable and ready for downstream use.

Confidence Scores

Each species identification comes with a probability rating so you know which results to trust.

Flagged Review Cases

Low-certainty identifications are surfaced automatically for expert inspectors to confirm or override.

Audit Trail & Traceability

Every validation step is logged and linked to raw observations and metadata.

Integrate Any Species Data

Consolidate All Species Identification Data From Different Monitoring Methods in One Dashboard

Your ecological datasets might come from different monitoring methods. Our species identification software ensures those detections don’t live in siloes. Once each method produces species outputs, the system can organise them into a coherent, unified dataset. Conflicting identifications get flagged, aligned, or merged so your final species dataset is consistent, robust, and ready for reporting.

Multi-Method Species Identification

Analyse All Your Species Data in One Place

From images to acoustic recordings to eDNA samples, our species identification software allows you to merge every monitoring method into one integrated dashboard, helping you detect, identify and report species data with confidence.

Overlay species identifications with habitat maps, land cover or environmental gradients from satellite layers to give spatial context to detected taxa.

Public Datasets

Pull in species occurrence records from public data sources to validate, enrich or compare your own identifications within the same dashboard.

View species identifications from audio recordings right alongside your image or eDNA detections, and compare acoustic signatures with other modalities.

Species Identification Dashboard Integrations

Display species identified from your camera trap imagery, with bounding boxes, timestamps and locations, integrated into your full species dashboard.

Merge eDNA-based species detections into your dashboard. Link DNA reads to species assignments and see how they align with other methods.

Field Observations

Include human-collected species observations (photos, notes, audio) in the dashboard to complement automated detections and ground-truth your data.

How It Works

Streamline Your Species Identification Workflow in Four Simple Steps

Use a streamlined workflow to turn your images, audio files, or eDNA reads into validated, integrated species outputs. Our species identification software makes the process intuitive and reliable, ensuring your data outputs are accurate, unified, and ready for action.

1.

Upload & Tag Observations

Add your image, audio or DNA files along with metadata (location, date, device). The software automatically organises them for processing.

2.

Automated Species Classification

The AI engine processes your data, assigning species labels where possible and flagging low-confidence cases.

3.

Review & Validate Output

Experts or users examine flagged cases, correct or confirm identifications. Every change is logged for auditability.

4.

Integrate, Report & Export

Final species data is merged across methods, visualised in dashboards, and exported in formats suitable for reporting, GIS or further analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Species Identification FAQs

Still have questions about how our biodiversity monitoring software works? Discover how we help organisations turn complex ecological data into clear, actionable insights.

1. How Accurate Are Your Species Identifications?

Our species identification software assigns a confidence score to every prediction. High-confidence IDs are passed directly to results, while lower-confidence ones are flagged for expert review. Over time, the model improves with feedback and validation.

2. What Happens When Different Sensors Disagree?

Conflicting identifications from camera, acoustic, and DNA sources are reconciled via built-in rules or human review. Our cross-modality logic ensures a unified species output per event.

3. How Does The Software Handle Ambiguous Observations or Novel Species?

If the prediction is uncertain or outside the training set, the system can fallback to genus or family level and flag the record. Users can review or override these with additional input or expert scrutiny.

4. Can The Software Scale To Handle Thousands Or Millions Of Observations?

Yes, the platform is built for scale. You can run species identification models on large batches of images, audio files, and eDNA samples concurrently. The system optimises resources so your team doesn’t get overwhelmed, even as your monitoring network grows.

5. What Data Formats Can I Export, and Are They Audit-Ready?

You can export species-level data in formats such as CSV, JSON, GeoTIFF or shapefiles. Every export includes metadata, confidence scores, review logs, and links to raw media for transparency and validation.
