Plittersdorf Dataset

The Plittersdorf dataset was captured using the SOCRATES stereo camera trap in early 2022 in the wildlife park Plittersdorf, Bonn Germany. It consists of 221 stereo videos of European fallow deer (Dama dama) and Sika deer (Cervus nippon), each 25 seconds in length with 30 frames per second. A subset of images is labeled with a total of 546 instance masks in the COCO JSON format. If you use this dataset, please cite the appropriate Zenodo entries. If you refer to the methodology used to obtain this dataset, please cite the publication indicated below.
