In this repository you can find all material (demo and tutorials) presented by INBO-LifeWatch team during the demo session on Jan 26th 2018.
We presented:
- "Trick the recognition bot" (demo)
- wateRinfo (tutorial)
- RGBIF (tutorial)
The demo Trick the recognition bot is a playful way to test the recognition bot for human detections used in cameratrap image processing (CATREIN).

As more and more open data becomes available, it is crucial to provide methods for scientists to efficiently access these data. The R language is a popular programming language for researchers working in the field of ecology. Hence, we contribute to and create R packages that enable data access. Two tutorials were presented to introduce two of these packages: rgbif (contribution) and wateRinfo (lifewatch development).
The rgbif package gives you access to data from GBIF, where we contribute our biodiversity data. The tutorial illustrates how you can use the package to search and download data from GBIF and how to create an interactive map of the downloaded data.
The wateRinfo package package provides data access to the waterinfo.be data, the data portal provided by the Flemish environmental agency (VMM). Different meteorological, flow and physico-chemical variables are provided for a set of stations.
