This is a species classification model for camera trap images to identify 30 species or higher level taxons present in the Skeleton Coast National Park. The model was trained on a set of more than 850,000 images. The classification model has an overall validation accuracy of 95.3%, a precision of 95.4%, and a recall of 95.3%. It is designed to be used in conjunction with MegaDetector as a feature extractor. This pipeline is integrated into the open-source camera trap analysis software [EcoAssist](https://addaxdatascience.com/ecoassist/).
