Optimal deep learning pipeline for animal activity recognition using bio-logging data
By
Jasper A. J. Eikelboom
Summary
This article presents a comprehensive scientific study on developing an optimal deep learning pipeline for animal activity recognition using bio-logging data (accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, GPS). It covers the entire workflow from data collection via animal-borne devices, through preprocessing and feature engineering, to training and evaluating supervised machine learning models for behaviour classification in wildlife and livestock. The paper likely benchmarks various deep learning architectures (CNNs, RNNs, transformers) and provides best-practice recommendations for researchers in the field of animal behaviour ecology and precision livestock farming.

· 2 pulledOver the past decade, there has been a growing number of studies that use animal bio-logging data for activity recognition (viz., behaviour classification) with supervised machine learning models.
These animal-borne devices with, for example, Inertial Measurement Units (i.e. accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers) and/or GNSS (e.g. GPS) receivers allow for the gathering of animal movement data at very high spatial and temporal resolutions, which has been revolutionary for both livestock
