A medium and large quadruped
animal behavior recognition method based on a framework
search graph convolutional network comprises the following steps: firstly, based on animal skeleton behavior
feature extraction, aiming at medium and large quadruped animal video images in a
complex field environment, using a
pose estimation algorithm DeepLabCut to quickly track the positions of
animal body part joint points, forming a space-time
skeleton graph, and carrying out space-time
feature extraction on the basis of the space-time
skeleton graph; and the spatial-temporal characteristics of different behaviors of the quadruped animal are captured. Then, a plurality of space-time diagram
convolution operation modules based on animal skeletons are designed, a graph-based search space is formed, residual connection, a
bottleneck structure and various attention mechanisms are fused, and the network is lighter while the performance of the recognition model is improved. And then, realizing the continuity of a search space based on a
microarchitecture search strategy so as to automatically search a low-cost space-time diagram
convolution model for behavior identification of medium and large quadruped animals, and finally realizing the purpose of distinguishing daily behaviors of the animals, thereby having a certain application prospect.
