Human experts vs. machines in taxa recognition

作者：

Highlights：

• Multiple image data of real specimens of benthic macroinvertebrates.

• Taxonomic resolution added to the image data.

• Comparing classification results for human experts vs. machines.

• Comparing those results taking into account the taxonomic resolution.

• Hierarchical classification of the image data with inherent hierarchical structure.
