About AnimalTrack

AnimalTrack aims to provide the first dedicated platform for studying the problem of multi-animal tracking (MAT) that is important for animal motion and behavior analysis. The proposed AnimalTrack has many features:
  • Dedicated MAT Platform: 58 sequences with around 25K frames provided in AnimalTrack.
  • Accurate Annotations: Each frame is manual annotated with careful inspection.
  • Dense Trajectories: The average number of tracks in AnimalTrack is more than 30.
  • Diverse Classes: We collect videos from ten animal categories in the wild.
Please kindly check out the benchmark details and download links at the Dataset Download page, and evaluation results at the Evaluation page.
