Abstract

Researches on insect image identification increase rapidly but are limited by the source images. Based on the datasets in computer vision research and existing insect image datasets, we plan to create a sharing data platform for insect image researches and we have created a prototype system. Considering insect image research many sub fields and the database must meet the requirements of these researches, we give a flexible database design to supply various information around images. Furthermore, we adopt a series copyright protection policies to encourage the taxonomists and data providers to sharing their images with professional taxonomy and related information. We will extend services on this platform and collect images with entomology information for insect image researches in the future.
