checkNames() looks up every scientific name in a key in the GBIF backbone taxonomy and reports misspellings (“did you mean Fraxinus pennsylvanica?”), outdated synonyms (“GBIF accepts Ulmus rubra”) and unknown names, with each name’s genus, family and order. It needs an internet connection but no extra packages.
keyFromSpreadsheet(checkNames = TRUE) runs that check and warns about problems by spreadsheet row.
suggestSpecies() ranks a key’s own species against a photo by their scientific names, with no example photos needed. It works best with BioCLIP 2 (visionModel(name = "bioclip-2")).
identifyPhotos() gives one answer per photo: the species when it is likely enough, otherwise the genus, family or order whose species together are. On the 14 Montana photos with BioCLIP 2 it named 12 to species and the other two to the right genus, with no wrong answers.
dimoose 0.1.2
keyDiagram() also writes .png and .pdf files when the ‘rsvg’ package is installed.
With the ‘magick’ package installed, keyDiagram() shrinks thumbnails to 112 px and imageMeta() (and so keyFromSpreadsheet()) scales photos down to at most 1200 px (maxSize), so keys made from camera photos stay small. The Montana diagram drops from 1.2 MB to 83 KB.
keyDiagram() sets the part of a result in parentheses in italics only when it is a scientific name: parsed by gnparser when ‘rgnparser’ is installed, otherwise a capitalised genus and lower-case epithets. “Willows (several species)” stays upright.
dimoose 0.1.1
keyFromSpreadsheet() builds a key from a plain CSV spreadsheet (one row per lead, with optional questions and photos) and reports mistakes by spreadsheet row.
keyDiagram() draws any key as a top-down box diagram (SVG), with photos in the result boxes.
New vignette, “A photo key to Montana’s broadleaf trees”, including how to make your own key from a spreadsheet.
montanaKey() and the montana dataset: a key to the eleven native broadleaf trees of Montana with photos from Wikimedia Commons, kept as a spreadsheet template in inst/extdata/montana/.
dimoose 0.1.0
First release.
Renamed from moose, because CRAN has an unrelated package of that name. The key class is now dimoose (dimoose$new(), inherits(x, "dimoose")), the S3 classes are dimooseVisionModel, dimooseTerms and dimooseSniglets, the vision tests read DIMOOSE_CLIP_WEIGHTS, and the repository is https://github.com/leipzig/dimoose. The first argument of exportWizard() is now key.
