Cub-200-Scripts

Collection of all scripts / data used for gathering information about all 200 birds listed in the CUB-200 Dataset

Since different naming patterns are used depending on the site, different text files exist depending on the used API:

1. xeno-canto-names.txt: These are the names used for downloading from xeno-canto. Since the API does a partial matching on names, some birds are referenced by their scientific name
2. botw-names.txt: Names used for webscrapper, only slight differences to xeno-canto
3. latin-names.txt: Scientific names of birds, is used for botw-scraper and for general naming [These do not work with the scrapper, xeno due to naming differences, partial name matching]
4. CUB-200-names.txt: The class labels as found in the CUB-200 dataset
