AddaxAI - EcoAssist v4.4

In previous versions of EcoAssist (v3.0 > v4.3) it was possible to train your own object detection models based on MegaDetector to detect your target species. Although this did work, it wasn't the best approach to develop a species recognition model. It required lots of training data, processing power, time, electricity and wasn't very accurate. Advancing insights revealed that better results can be obtained by using a object classification model to be used in conjunction with the results of MegaDetector. The animals will then be located by MegaDetector, and further classified by your custom model. EcoAssist > v4.2 does support the deployment of a classification model to be used in conjunction with MegaDetector, but training such a model is more complicated and hasn't been incorporated into EcoAssist (yet).

Further: - new logo - fixed scroll issues - moved documentation to https://addaxdatascience.com/ecoassist/
