Online Collective Animal Movement Activity Recognition
Learning the activities of animals is important for the purpose of monitoring their welfare vis a vis their behaviour with respect to their environment and conspecifics. While previous works have largely focused on activity recognition in a single animal, little or no work has been done in learning the collective behaviour of animals. In this work, we address the problem of recognising the collective movement activities of a group of sheep in a flock. We present a discriminative framework that learns to track the positions and velocities of all the animals in the flock in an online manner whilst estimating their collective activity. We investigate the performance of two simple deep network architectures and show that we can learn the collective activities with good accuracy even when the distribution of the activities is skewed.

A Framework For Identifying Group Behavior Of Wild Animals
Activity recognition and, more generally, behavior inference tasks are gaining a lot of interest. Much of it is work in the context of human behavior. New available tracking technologies for wild animals are generating d…
Activity RecognitionA unifying framework for quantifying the nature of animal interactions
Collective phenomena, whereby agent-agent interactions determine spatial patterns, are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom. On the other hand, movement and space use are also greatly influenced by the interactions between a…
Connecting the dots in ethology: applying network theory to understand neural and animal collectives
A major goal shared by neuroscience and collective behavior is to understand how dynamic interactions between individual elements give rise to behaviors in populations of neurons and animals, respectively. This goal has …
Bayesian Inverse Reinforcement Learning for Collective Animal Movement
Agent-based methods allow for defining simple rules that generate complex group behaviors. The governing rules of such models are typically set a priori and parameters are tuned from observed behavior trajectories. Inste…

The origins of spontaneous movements have been investigated in human as well as in other vertebrates. Studies have reported an increase in neuronal activity one second before the onset of a given movement: this is known …
