• Abstract summary: We propose a novel video-based, two-stream deep neural network approach for this problem. We extract and preprocess body keypoints, and compute features from both keypoints and the RGB representation over the video. We present a unique video-based dog behavior dataset, collected by veterinary professionals, and annotated for presence of pain.

• Abstract: Dog owners are typically capable of recognizing behavioral cues that reveal subjective states of their dogs, such as pain. But automatic recognition of the pain state is very challenging. This paper proposes a novel video-based, two-stream deep neural network approach for this problem. We extract and preprocess body keypoints, and compute features from both keypoints and the RGB representation over the video. We propose an approach to deal with self-occlusions and missing keypoints. We also present a unique video-based dog behavior dataset, collected by veterinary professionals, and annotated for presence of pain, and report good classification results with the proposed approach. This study is one of the first works on machine learning based estimation of dog pain state.

  Pose estimation aims to accurately identify anatomical keypoints in humans and animals using monocular images. Current models are typically trained and tested on clean data, potentially overlooking the corruption during real-world deployment. We introduce PoseBench, a benchmark designed to evaluate the robustness of pose estimation models against real-world corruption.

• Overcoming the Domain Gap in Neural Action Representations [60.47807856873544]
  3D pose data can now be reliably extracted from multi-view video sequences without manual intervention. We propose to use it to guide the encoding of neural action representations together with a set of neural and behavioral augmentations. To reduce the domain gap, during training, we swap neural and behavioral data across animals that seem to be performing similar actions.
