Abstract

Due to the uneven distribution and large scale-variation range of living cattle, the accuracy of traditional object counting algorithm is not high in living-animal field, and there are few cattle data sets used for research. To solve these problems, this paper established a dataset for cattle density estimation, and proposed a cattle counting estimation method based on multi-scale residual visual information fusion. This method used multiple parallel dilate convolution with different dilate rates to extract multi-scale features of cattle, and combined residual structure with small dilate rate convolution to design a deep neural network more suitable for living cattle object counting, thus eased the effect of grid effect caused by dilate convolution and better adapt to the multi-scale changes of cattle. The proposed method achieved the lowest mean absolute error(MAE) and root mean square error(RMSE) on the cattle density data set. In dense counting data sets, the MAE and the RMSE of the proposed method also achieved the optimal or suboptimal results. The experimental results show that the proposed method is not only suitable for the number estimation of cattle scene, but also has high accuracy and strong robustness in population density estimation.
