Created by the American Museum of Natural History, DotDotGoose is software that assists with manually counting objects in images.
Robert Rockwell / American Museum of Natural HistoryOn most autumn days, David Sopjes can be found in the Eel River in Northwest California counting fish. As a retired high school science teacher and citizen scientist, Sopjes has spent the last 10 years monitoring the Chinook salmon population in the Eel River, which he says has the third-largest watershed in the state. Every fall, Sopjes counts the salmon as they wait for the winter rains to reproduce.
To count each class, researchers can click on each object in the image to place the dot. DotDotGoose tallies the number of dots by class as they’re placed. Users can add custom notes, latitude and longitude coordinates, or other data points to describe the image. When Thomas joined the project in 2018, she tried counting the geese using Photoshop, but it was hard to count
“Conservation biologists and ecologists are sitting on just tons and tons of photographic data,” Thomas says.
