What happened?

I uploaded three bulk imports. I did not skip detection or identification. The import worked for all bulk imports. I added the new photos to their respective projects.

Among others the spreadsheet included the following columns: ‘Encounter.genus’ (‘Bombina’) and ‘Encounter.specificEpithet’ (‘variegata’) so wildbook should have the information of the species.

There were no errors or missing fields in the spreadsheet, and the species was filled in correctly on the ‘Check the spreadsheet’ webpage: Bombina variegata.

On the bulk import progress webpage, ‘detection’ was marked as complete, but no ‘class’ had been added to the photos. This problem occurred with all three bulk imports.

Furthermore, when viewing the new photos on the project webpage, the detection status was ‘error’. No annotation had been added to the photos.

Identification did not start automatically, and I cannot start it manually either.

For the bulk import that only included two photos, I added the annotation manually, after which the identification process began. However, the other bulk imports are larger, so I would prefer not to add the annotations manually. As far as I can tell, the photos are OK, so Wildbook should be able to add the annotations.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the annotations to be added automatically, after which the identification process would begin.

What are some steps we could take to reproduce the issue?

Upload a bulk import.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Thanks for sending your spreadsheet! I’ll need a little more time to dig into this as I’m still seeing the detection errors when I re-run it.

Thanks for your patience. Viewpoints weren’t configured for this species. I’ve resent your import to detection and I see annotations now. Some may need to be fixed manually as this type of viewpoint wasn’t well represented in the training data, so the automated detector may make some mistakes. I do see more good annotations than bad ones, though. I’ve sent this import to identification and you should have matches ready soon.
