Automated species identification is a method of making the expertise of taxonomy taxonomists available to ecologists, parataxonomy parataxonomists and others via computers, PDA s and other digital technology. Introduction The automated identification of biological objects such as insects individuals and or groups e.g., species , guilds, characters has been a dream among systematics systematists for centuries. The goal of some of the first multivariate biometric methods was to address the perennial problem of group discrimination and inter group characterization. Despite much preliminary work in the 1950s and 60s, progress in designing and implementing practical systems for fully automated object biological identification has proven frustratingly slow. As recently as 2004 Daniel Janzen Dan Janzen updated the dream for a new audience blockquote The spaceship lands. He steps out. He points it around. It says friendly unfriendly edible poisonous safe dangerous living inanimate .
