:bird: BFT dataset

• 📊 Bird flock tracking (BFT) dataset:

  • 🎬106 various bird flight videos with 22 species and 14 scenes
  • 🎯collected for artifical intelligence and ecological research
  • 📈 We provide a Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) benchmark for evaluating open-world MOT for highly dynamic object tracking.

• 📥 Download BFT dataset v1.5

  • [Recommended] Download with Google Drive
  • Download with Baidu Pan
  • Download with AliPan Due to policy limitations of Alipan, please run the .exe file directly to decompress data.

🚀 Get started

• Run default demo video.

  sh tools/demo/demo_seq.sh

  The results will be shown in ./output/track_res.

• Evaluate Please ref to ./docs/evalutate.md.
