Standardizing Multimodal Insect Monitoring Data for AI-Ready Pipelines: Lessons from an InsectAI Community Datathon

Camtrap DP can largely accommodate automated insect monitoring data today, but the community needs agreed guidance and a few targeted extensions (track IDs, parent media and crop offsets, target taxonomic scope, identification provenance) to handle insect-specific challenges.
