FaunaPulse demo videos

Two short public-domain videos to try FaunaPulse on an Android phone: import a video, find the animals in it (detection and tracking), then name them (identification). Everything runs on the phone; no internet is needed after the models are downloaded.

Video tutorials on YouTube: insects and mammals. Written tutorial: find and name animals in a video.

File	What it shows	Video	Try it with
Pumpkin1080_square_realtime.mp4	a honey bee on a pumpkin flower	38 s, 896 x 896 px, 29.97 fps, no sound, 8.3 MB	detector insectDCT, then BioCLIP 2 with the European pollinator name list
White_tailed_Deer_square.mp4	two white-tailed deer at a trail camera	10 s, 1216 x 1216 px, 30 fps, no sound, 19.2 MB	detector MegaDetector V6, then BioCLIP 2 with the mammals and birds name list

How to try them

1. On the phone, open this page, tap a file name, then the download button.
2. In FaunaPulse: Home, Import videos…, the menu (three dots), Browse…, then the Download folder, and pick the video. Tap Import 1 clip.
3. Tap Find animals in these videos, choose the detector, switch on Also identify them, choose the name list, and tap Analyze.

What we got on a Xiaomi 11T Pro: the bee clip gives one track ID named Apis mellifera (western honey bee, 94 %); the deer clip gives two track IDs named Odocoileus virginianus (white-tailed deer, 96 %).

Sources, licence and changes

Both videos are works of United States federal employees, made as part of their official duties, and therefore in the public domain. The agencies published them on Flickr with the Public Domain Mark. No permission is needed to use, change or share them. Please still credit the authors as below. The agencies do not endorse FaunaPulse.

• Changes: cropped to the square FaunaPulse analysed (x 700, y 88, side 896 px). The original is slow motion (filmed at 60 fps, played at 29.97 fps), so every second frame was kept to show the bee at natural speed. Sound removed.

• Changes: cropped to the square FaunaPulse analysed (x 336, y 12, side 1216 px). Sound removed. Speed unchanged (real time).

Each video has a .json file next to it with the exact ffmpeg command and the SHA-256 of the source and of the result.

Models used in the tutorials

The models are not part of this dataset; FaunaPulse downloads them from the FaunaPulse models collection, where each model card gives its origin, licence and citation: insectDCT (Bjerge et al. 2026, preprint), MegaDetector V6 (Beery et al. 2019; Hernandez et al. 2024) and BioCLIP 2 (Gu et al. 2025).
