Coarse facial feature detection in sheep

We present a deep learning model for facial feature detection in sheep, which is part of a project on machine learning for kinship detection in livestock. Using YOLO-like training, we obtained a model capable of identifying the eye and nose line of the animal in the image, with a mean test error of ∼5 pixels (in a 256×384 input image). We further evaluated the effectiveness of the resulting pose e...
