Query: Livestock Monitoring with Transformer   Tracking the behaviour of livestock enables early detection and thus
prevention of contagious diseases in modern animal farms. Apart from economic
gains, this would reduce the amount of antibiotics used in livestock farming
which otherwise enters the human diet exasperating the epidemic of antibiotic
resistance - a leading cause of death. We could use standard video cameras,
available in most modern farms, to monitor livestock. However, most computer
vision algorithms perform poorly on this task, primarily because, (i) animals
bred in farms look identical, lacking any obvious spatial signature, (ii) none
of the existing trackers are robust for long duration, and (iii) real-world
conditions such as changing illumination, frequent occlusion, varying camera
angles, and sizes of the animals make it hard for models to generalize. Given
these challenges, we develop an end-to-end behaviour monitoring system for
group-housed pigs to perform simultaneous instance level segmentation,
tracking, action recognition and re-identification (STAR) tasks. We present
starformer, the first end-to-end multiple-object livestock monitoring framework
that learns instance-level embeddings for grouped pigs through the use of
transformer architecture. For benchmarking, we present Pigtrace, a carefully
curated dataset comprising video sequences with instance level bounding box,
segmentation, tracking and activity classification of pigs in real indoor
farming environment. Using simultaneous optimization on STAR tasks we show that
starformer outperforms popular baseline models trained for individual tasks.
