Automatic Sheep Counting by Multi-object Tracking
Jingsong Xu, Litao Yu, Jian Zhang, Qiang Wu · 2020
Animal counting is a highly skilled yet tedious task in livestock transportation and trading. To effectively free up the human labour and provide accurate counts for sheep loading/unloading, we develop an auto sheep counting system based on multi-object detection, tracking and extrapolation techniques. Our system has demonstrated more than 99.9% accuracy with sheep moving freely in a race under optimal visual conditions.
