Abstract
The Chinese giant salamander is classified as a Class II protected species in China and is recognized as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Due to their unique behavioral patterns, wild Chinese giant salamanders are primarily nocturnal and inhabit areas characterized by complex terrain, which results in limited detection coverage and significant challenges in observation. Consequently, images of wild Chinese giant salamanders are exceedingly rare, and the scarcity of existing data impedes the advancement and application of deep learning-based object detection models. This study constructs and releases a specialized dataset for Chinese giant salamanders, comprising 1386 images and a total of 1397 annotated bounding boxes. All images represent diverse field scenarios and are meticulously annotated in accordance with YOLO (You Only Look…
