BioClip (referenced in their writeup) is good to know about.

I run a small scale wildlife monitoring program with usually 3 cameras (depending on how many are being repaired for battery terminal corrosion). Each month I skim through and categorize ~200 videos that we've captured. Doesn't take too long, but it would be nice to automate at some point.

Do you use any kind of protectant, like dielectric grease or Deoxit? I find applying to both the equipment and battery contacts saves a lot of headaches on my work phone, ATV, trailer lights connectors and anything else powered I use in the field.

BioCLIP won the CVPR best student paper award: https://cvpr.thecvf.com/Conferences/2024/News/Awards

Having talked with Sam, they're working on BioCLIPv2. So expect even better results sometime soon.

No, but great idea. Once I get the current batch back from the repair shop I'll start doing that.

We use some dielectric grease when we have to make some outdoor connections and it works great here in the jungle, and it also has the bonus of keeping the leaf cutter ants from slicing up your electronics too!
