Camtraptor is an R package to read, explore and visualize Camera Trap Data Packages (Camtrap DP). Camtrap DP is a community developed data exchange format for this type of data. With camtraptor you can read and filter data, create overviews of observed species, relative abundance or effort, and plot these data on a map.
To get started, see:
- Vignettes: tutorials showcasing functionality.
- Function reference: overview of all functions.
You can install the development version of camtraptor from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("inbo/camtraptor")

Filter observations in mica
on female mallards and map the number of
individuals per deployment location:
map_dep(
mica,
feature = "n_individuals",
species = "Anas platyrhynchos",
sex = "female"
)
#> There are 4 deployments with no observations: 29b7d356-4bb4-4ec4-b792-2af5cc32efa8, 577b543a-2cf1-4b23-b6d2-cda7e2eac372, 62c200a9-0e03-4495-bcd8-032944f6f5a1 and 7ca633fa-64f8-4cfc-a628-6b0c419056d7
Camtraptor provides and bundles much needed functionality to read, explore and visualize Camera Trap Data Packages. Over time we hope to include some or all of this functionality in widely used R packages such as camtrapR and activity.
