CowXNet: An automated cow estrus detection system

作者:

Highlights:

• CowXNet: an automated estrus detection system without attached electronic devices.

• A set of discriminative features for estrus detection was found.

• A new benchmark dataset of cows with annotations is available.

• The nose was the key indicator of estrus behavior, especially sniffing.

• Cows behave differently when they are in estrus.
