🌿 iNaturalist Bronze Dataset (Research Grade, Deduplicated) Description This dataset contains research grade observations from iNaturalist, processed through a bronze layer pipeline that includes: Research grade only observations (community verified) One photo per observation (deduplicated by observation uuid, keeping the first photo) AVIF encoded images stored as binary in Parquet ~5TB total size across over 41,316 shards Note: This dataset started as all photos, but was tuned to filter downloaded images to only research grade observations with 1 photo per observation. This prioritizes observation diversity over multiple (often near identical) photos of the same specimen.
