摘要

The paper is interested in detecting the estrus status of dairy cows from videos of a cattle. A complete fully image-driven processing chain is developed for estrus classification. First, the cow detector is performed by the lightweight deep neural network YOLOv8n Pose which also provides the keypoints of the cows in each frame. The tracking of the cows is carried out by the BotSort tracker. Spatio-temporal features are then computed around the keypoints of each cow. These descriptors are the input of a binary classifier that detects the estrus status and, a benchmark of several classifiers is conducted. Experimental results indicate that our method outperforms the state of art methods while using fewer parameters, validating the benefits of a lightweight and adaptive tracking solution.
