Data transfer: Export from FlowCam and import to EcoTaxa for comprehensive annotation and library development. v2
Abstract
This procedure outlines the steps needed to export imagery and associated metadata of individual or multiple FlowCam runs into EcoTaxa. Working with FlowCam data within EcoTaxa allows for improved annotation and predictability capacity across large datasets. This step-by-step procedure is based off of the initial R code called FlowProcess written by Alex Barth and has been updated with VisualSpreadsheet 6.0 and EcoTaxa language and page design to assist other FlowCam users with this type of data transfer.
