CoBRA_pose_behaviour_youngstock_video

This dataset was created within the CoBRA project (Cow Behaviour Recording and Analysis) and contains 100 videos of 60s (2fps) of a youngstock pen which was continuously monitored for over a year. For every video, the last frame was extracted and annotated with respect to the pose and behaviour of all animals of interest. During annotation of these frames, animals in the background were occluded using masks. The pose of the animals was quantified using a skeleton which is focussed on the dorsal axis of the animals and contains six keypoints: tail implant, left hip, right hip, withers, top of the head and nose.

Each video (.mp4) is accompanied by an image of its last frame (.jpg), for which an annotation file is available (.json). The .json file contains: 1) keypoint coordinates of annotated skeletons 2) behaviours of animals for which the skeleton was annotated and 3) coordinates of annotated masks. In the "project" folder, more information can be found with regard to the numerical encoding of the behaviour (ethogram.json) and the skeleton definition (skeleton.json)

Annotations were made using the Kantool_behaviour software (https://github.com/mperneel/CoBRA_segmentor)
