An image dataset of fruitfly species (Bactrocera Zonata and Bactrocera Dorsalis) and automated species classification through object detection.

ABSTRACT: This data article describes the image dataset collection and annotation of the two most common fruitfly species Bactrocera Zonata and Bactrocera Dorsalis. The dataset is released as a collection of more than 2000 images captured through two sources: images of specially reared fruitfly species in laboratory captured by (48-megapixels) smartphone camera, and images of fruitflies captured by (8-megapixels) Raspberry Pi camera through insect traps installed in fruit orchards. Each image sample is associated with a ground truth label that mentions the fruit fly species. The dataset has been classified and annotated using the object detection method into two fruitfly species with an average 85% accuracy. The results of classification and annotation have been validated by expert entomologists by manually examining test samples in a laboratory setting. This dataset is best suited for developing smart monitoring systems to provide advisory services to farmers through mobile applications that provides real-time information about fruitfly species for effective control and management.
