Data for: An automatic ear base temperature extraction method for top view piglet thermal image

This data set includes three part. The first part is the original thermal images (named by "original thermal images") used for the algorithm testing, which is corresponding to the 100 testing IS2 files described in the manuscript. The second part, named by "Result images after processing", are the result images after the proposed algorithm is applied. Where, each image in the "Result images after processing" folder has two red points, which correspond to the points where the ear base temperatures are extracted . The extracted left and right ear base temperatures are listed in the Excel file named by "Ear base temperature extracted manually and by the proposed algorithm". Where, the corresponding ear base temperatures extracted manually are also listed. The error of the temperatures extracted manually and by the proposed algorithm is listed in the Excel file too.
