Biological Data Collection Tools

While there are many organizations working to gather information about the world's biodiversity, there are still many data gaps! The goal of this initiative is to mobilize both the community and professionals to collect accessible and unbiased baseline data across this urbanizing landscape.

Why do we need apps that help document environmental data?

Collecting enough adequate data is  necessary for all projects across our landscape, whether it is for scientific research or planning development.


Having specific information about habitat use by our native species is imperative to ensure any development planning takes into consideration the correct and most up-to-date information about the land. 


Having this information will also make any scientific research more efficient and far less time consuming!

Who uses these tools?

The community!

 

We believe the people who live in any areas targeted for development or other land use plans are the best eyes and ears to detect any and all plant and animal residents. 

How are these tools used?

By simply using an app for your smartphone!

Our Smartphone Applications

MyField App

This smartphone app targets anyone interested in recording their wildlife observations that will assist in local conservation research and environmental studies. Similar to other Naturalist applications, My Field App records location, date, time and allows the user to indicate the species of the plant or animal observation. This app is meant to be a quick and easy-to-use data collection tool, that allows users to submit information anonymously. 

The app is currently available for both iPhone and Android users! Get started by creating an account today!

Download the app

MyFish App

This smartphone app targets the interests of anglers and fishermen, making it quick and easy to record your catches using photos. Information collected and submitted to our Aerial database will be similar to My Field App , which allows your submissions to be anonymous, and you can view all past catches in your Aerial diary online. The free version of the app will soon be available to download for both iPhone and Android users.


Software Developer Notes: The real magic in My Fish App is the detection algorithm that we have developed to perform pixel/colour analysis to detect object bounds in the photo, i.e. the reference object and the fish. The quality of the image and associated lighting conditions play a huge factor in the detection accuracy. 

When taking a picture of your fish, try for best lighting. The ideal scenario is lighting from over your shoulder onto the fish. Avoid lighting directed at the camera.

The Biologist Toolbox

Coming soon.

How to Use My Field App

Check out our YouTube video to learn about a great citizen science tool - My Field App!

  

Use this app to take a picture of your wildlife observations and submit to the Aerial database. All submissions to the database are anonymous! You can view the observations in your Aerial Diary at any time.
