Can anyone explain the rules for buying @FCNordsjaelland tickets (for September 16th). Website just says, "for people who have previously purchased". Is there no public ticket sale online?

Does google have an object detection API for street view? Why not? @TimSwast. What if I wanted to find all predicted utility poles in Portland for weak labeling.

In addition to the 8M+ labeled camera trap images on LILA, we added a list if all other downloadable labeled datasets we know about. Hopefully this is a helpful resource for the community. lila.science/otherdatasets
