NOTE: Add more tags (your particular animal, type of model and use-case, etc.).

As with your GitHub Project repo, it is important to choose an appropriate license for your dataset. The default license is pddl (public domain dedication or CC0, see [Dryad's explanation of why to use CC0](https://blog.datadryad.org/2023/05/30/good-data-practices-removing-barriers-to-data-reuse-with-cc0-licensing/)). Alongside the appropriate stakeholders (eg., your PI, co-authors), select a license that is [Open Source Initiative](https://opensource.org/licenses) (OSI) compliant.
For more information on how to choose a license and why it matters, see [Choose A License](https://choosealicense.com) and [A Quick Guide to Software Licensing for the Scientist-Programmer](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002598) by A. Morin, et al.
See the [Imageomics policy for licensing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SlITG-r7kdJB6C8f4FCJ9Z7o7ccwldZoSRJKjhRAWVA/edit#heading=h.c1sxg0wsiqru) for more information.

### Dataset Summary

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this data is. -->

<!--This dataset card aims to be a base template for new datasets. It has been generated using [this raw template](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/blob/main/src/huggingface_hub/templates/datasetcard_template.md?plain=1).-->

This dataset contains the LILA BC full camera trap information with notebook ([`lilabc_CT.ipynb`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/lila-bc-camera/blob/main/notebooks/lilabc_CT.ipynb)) exploring available data. The last run of this (in [commit 010ecf0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/lila-bc-camera/commit/010ecf0c6a2e0c99c9481cea793d8b1556b5c71e)) uses and produces the lila CSVs found [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/lila-bc-camera/tree/010ecf0c6a2e0c99c9481cea793d8b1556b5c71e/data).
More details on this are below in [Data Instances](#data-instances).

**Repo file description at [commit 87e2e4d](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/lila-bc-camera/tree/87e2e4d46cf1e8daadd74b7738856a1e30754de3) when we were considering it for BioCLIP v1 testing:**

Images have been deduplicated and reduced down to species designation, with the main CSV filtered to just those with species labels and only one animal per image. This was done by pulling the first instance of an animal so that there are not repeat images of the same animal from essentially the same time.

The deduplicated collection ([lila_image_urls_and_labels_species.csv](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/lila-bc-camera/blob/f2d596714c46bf30edf1f45efe88b3a09b3c5f81/data/lila_image_urls_and_labels_species.csv)) has 6,365,985 images (compared to the full dataset of 16,833,848 at time of download). Its [associated taxonomy mapping release](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/lila-bc-camera/blob/f2d596714c46bf30edf1f45efe88b3a09b3c5f81/data/lila-taxonomy-mapping_release.csv).

The [`data/lila_image_urls_and_labels.csv`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/lila-bc-camera/blob/010ecf0c6a2e0c99c9481cea793d8b1556b5c71e/data/lila_image_urls_and_labels.csv) has all images with non-taxa (identified by `scientific_name`, `common_name`, and `kingdom` are null) or `human` original labels filtered out and has 10,104,328 images.
7,521,712 have full 7-rank taxa, with 891 unique 7-tuple strings (908 unique including subranks), with 890 unique scientific names -- this count is from before humans were removed (there are 257,159 images with humans listed and they do have full 7-rank taxa).
Final version at this stage has 9,849,119 images, 907 unique scientific names.
