Beef Cattle Instance Segmentation Using Fully Convolutional Neural Network

5 Jul 2018  ·  Aram Ter-Sarkisov, Robert Ross, John Kelleher, Bernadette Earley, Michael Keane ·

We present an instance segmentation algorithm trained and applied to a CCTV recording of beef cattle during a winter finishing period. A fully convolutional network was transformed into an instance segmentation network that learns to label each instance of an animal separately. We introduce a conceptually simple framework that the network uses to output a single prediction for every animal. These results are a contribution towards behaviour analysis in winter finishing beef cattle for early detection of animal welfare-related problems.
