MegaDetector v6 (YOLOv10-extra)
detector camera-trap global
The largest, highest-accuracy variant of MegaDetector v6. Locates animals, people and vehicles in camera-trap photos. Use this for offline review or batch projects where every detection counts.

MegaDetector v6 (YOLOv10-compact)
detector camera-trap global
Compact variant of MegaDetector v6 — runs faster than the extra-large model with a small accuracy cost. Good default for real-time projects on modest hardware.

Deepfaune Detector
detector camera-trap Europe
Detector trained on European camera-trap data. Locates animals in the frame; pair with a Deepfaune classifier to identify species.

MegaDetector v5a (legacy)
detector camera-trap global
The previous-generation MegaDetector. Kept for projects that have validated against v5 outputs and don't yet want to switch to v6.

HerdNet — African Megafauna
detector aerial Africa
Aerial-survey detector for large African mammals (elephant, buffalo, kob, topi, warthog, waterbuck, plus background). Built for densely-populated savanna scenes captured from aircraft.

OWL — Aerial Animal Detector
detector aerial global
Single-class aerial detector that flags any animal in the frame. Use for broad presence/absence aerial surveys where species ID isn't required.

Sub-Saharan Mammals
detector camera-trap Africa
Regional YOLO model for sub-Saharan camera-trap wildlife. Returns a bounding box + species label in one pass — no separate classifier needed.

Deepfaune — Europe
classifier camera-trap Europe
European species classifier from the Deepfaune project. The standard pairing for the Deepfaune detector across European camera-trap surveys.

SpeciesNet (Crop)
classifier camera-trap global
Very-large global classifier — covers ~2,500 species. Use when the project covers diverse regions or when no regional classifier exists for your area.

MegaDetector AudioBirds v1
audio_detector acoustic global
Bird-focused acoustic detector. Slides a 1-second window over the audio file and emits per-window class probabilities. Use for dawn-chorus surveys, bird-call presence/absence, or any project where you want a smaller, faster audio model than Perch.

Google Perch v2
audio_detector acoustic global
Very-large global acoustic classifier covering ~15,000 bird species + some non-bird wildlife. Best accuracy on diverse international datasets but slower than AudioBirds; pick this when species coverage matters more than speed.

Orca Detector (DCLDE 2026)
audio_detector acoustic North Pacific
Stage 1 of the DCLDE 2026 killer-whale cascade — a binary orca-vs-rest screener for continuous hydrophone audio. Designed for Pacific Northwest monitoring corpora (Salish Sea, North BC); pair with the Orca Ecotype Classifier (Stage 2) to identify ecotype on orca-positive windows.

Orca Ecotype Classifier (DCLDE 2026)
audio_detector acoustic North Pacific
Stage 2 of the DCLDE 2026 killer-whale cascade — a temperature-calibrated 5-class ecotype classifier covering Southern Resident (SRKW), Transient/Bigg's (TKW), Southern Alaska Resident (SAR), Northern Resident (NRKW), and Offshore (OKW) killer whales. Best used on orca-positive windows surfaced by the Orca Detector.
