This contains the photos in .jpg format embedded with the exchangeable image file (EXIF) metadata recorded by the cameras (e.g., time, date, camera settings) as well as metadata tags specific to the research (e.g., project name, permit number). In addition to other attributes, file names contain the survey code (surveyEventID), sighting number and the original file name for the media file. If present, non-mammal photos are assigned MISC (miscellaneous). Photos are organized by collection date and divided into subdirectories that correspond to the sighting number (starting at one and numbered consecutively on each day of the survey) of that date. Subdirectories are defined as: The nested file structure for photos may be as follows: YYYYMMDD (Y=year, M=month, D=day) Sighting_XXX Sighting_XXX E.g.: 20181027 (27 October 2018) Sighting_026
