Methods of insect image capture and classification: A Systematic literature review

Insects are the largest, most diverse organism class. Their key role in many ecosystems means that it is important they are identified correctly for effective management. However, insect species identification is challenging and labour-intensive. This has prompted increasing interest in image-based...
