YT-BB-Dog
The YT-BB-Dog is a short-term dog re-identification dataset. It is a variation of theYT-BB dataset, extracting dogs bounding boxes from video frames of multiple Youtube videos.
It is composed of:
- 2,723 dogs.
- 27,036 images.
We also make available the YT-BB-Dog random background, which is the test set with 100 random backgrounds.
Example of extracted crops:



Sibetan
The Sibetan dataset is a cross-camera dog re-identification dataset collected in Sibetan, Indonesia, in the context of the SEAdogSEAproject. It covers one week of recordings from 2019, extracting dogs bouding boxes from camera-traps videos of resolution 720x480.
It is composed of:
- 59 dogs.
- 1,755 images.
Example of extracted crops:

BIFOR weights
Trained weights of the models reported in the paper Background-invariant re-identification of dogs from camera-trap videos in non-controlled environments:
- f(0) - ConvNext-Base pre-trained on ImageNet.
- f(1) - Background-based Network.
- f(2) - BIFOR (Background-Invariant Feature extractOR).
