Field campaigns

Data summaries and the per-campaign data reports for the three 2025 SmartWilds campaigns at The Wilds. The field logs, site descriptions, equipment list, field collection protocols, and Google Earth site files live in the public Imageomics/naturelab repository (field_log/ and procedures/); they are not duplicated here. Raw images and labels will be released soon.

Each *_data_report.md is the agent-assisted inventory of one campaign directory: file counts and sizes per modality and deployment, the metadata files present, known issues (clock errors, missing telemetry, battery exhaustion), and the people who collected the data. Paths written as <archive>/... refer to the project's field archive, which is not public.

Field logs by date, site descriptions with GPS fixes, the equipment list, and the field collection protocols: Imageomics/naturelab.

The field logs are evidence, not just context. The time of day of the 2025-08-11 drone flights (defect 15) was recovered from the video containers only because the field log and the JotForm check-ins fixed the morning's schedule and so settled which aircraft wrote local time and which wrote UTC.
