Beyond Vision: CVAT Goes Multimodal and Introduces Audio Annotation. Learn more

CVAT

CVAT for Environmental Monitoring AI

CVAT turns camera-trap, underwater, and drone imagery into validated training data for wildlife monitoring, invasive species detection, and pollution tracking, trusted by teams like Robonotic.

Use cases

Turn Every Camera in the Wild Into Ground Truth

Top-down drone view of an elk herd crossing fresh snow

Wildlife counts and camera traps

Detect and count animals across camera traps and drone surveys.

How it Works

Integrate Seamlessly

Start labeling without changing how you work

Connect your field cameras, survey archives, existing labels, and review stages as they are. Nothing to re-plumb.
