Assistant prof. at Aarhus University. Biodiversity Monitoring and Digital Approaches for Resilient and Sustainable Agriculture. Craft and Foraging 🍄🍎.
Congrats to PhD student Melika Baghooee for publishing her preprint (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...)! Looking forward to receiving feedback on our approach that proposes using explicit size in computer vision models to classify insects better :)
Insect Size Matters: Using Image and Dimensions Together Improves Image Classification
Although visual features have been the cornerstone of insect recognition, morphological traits are often overlooked by modern "scale-invariant" deep learning-based methods. One such trait is absolute ...

You may have heard of MegaDetector 🐅

What about a MiniDetector? 🪰

In my opinion flatbug is the closest thing we have to a universal insect detector.

Open source and free to use.

Amazing & groundbreaking work lead by @asgersvenning.bsky.social & @qgeissmann.bsky.social
I am excited to share that my first first-author paper, “A General Method for Detection and Segmentation of Terrestrial Arthropods in Images,” is now available on preprint.

If you are interested take a look at my blog (asgersvenning.com/flat-bug/) or consider reading the pre-print (linked below).

🚨WEBINAR ALERT🚨(free)

The #insect monitoring toolbox includes a suite of #sensors for automated data collection.

But what can they achieve?

Find out next Friday with fascinating talks from

Immensely proud of MSc student Daphne Chevalier ( darsa.info/people/auto-...) co-supervised by Juli Carrillo, in UBC for her outstanding defence today. I am very impressed by how Daphne bridged engineering and ecology to study how Artificial Light At Night affects arthropods!
