This data set was collected from the Dairy Campus in Leeuwarden (The Netherlands) with a FLIR E6 thermal camera over a period of 9 days. It consists of 3694 images of 383, with each cow represented with an average of 9 images. Each snapshot created two images; 1) RGB and ii) Temperature. The image filenames are in the format [cow_id-4 digits][day no-1 digit][counter-1 digit].
The timestamp.xlsx file indicates the day number (day 1 to day 9) of when an image in the data set was collected. This allows to design and run leave-one day-out cross validation, the same as we did in our paper.
