AI-Powered Species Identification

Our proprietary AI automatically suggests species candidates for submitted biological photos based on location and season. This system, combined with user-selected species identification and an SNS function for expert consultation, ensures both the accuracy of citizen-participatory monitoring and the reliability of data by preventing misidentification.
