- Candidate camera trap locations are sampled in a region of interest
- Spatial layers are used to evaluate characteristics and deployment feasibility of locations
- Candidate locations are ordered and selected by user criteria
- Grids are optionally established around focal locations
- (Soon) density estimation methods
