Automated Specimen Triage for Dark Taxa: Deep Learning Enables Orientation, Sex Identification, and Anatomical Segmentation from Robotic Imaging

2025-10-04

Abstract excerpt

Robotic specimen processing is transforming biodiversity discovery by replacing labor-intensive handling with scalable systems that can simultaneously generate high-quality specimen images. We demonstrate that these images can be leveraged by deep learning to efficiently extract key biological information and guide targeted specimen processing. Using a model dark taxon, the Phoridae (Diptera), the workflow perform...
