LightningBug Workflows
LightningBug workflow can be viewed as six parts.

1
Curate specimens before and after imaging (i.e., pre-curation and post-curation).

OCR/HCR virtual labels and connect to structured text extraction services
4

Develop hardware and software platform to capture multi-view imagery of both labels and specimens.
2

Apply photogrammetric analysis to assemble the 3D shape and structure of specimens.
5

Build robust algorithms to automatically process fragmentary views of multiple labels into separate integrated “virtual labels".

6
Provide research-ready data. Labels become records and shared with GBIF. Images stored & served from MorphoSource
