# Dataset Card for KABR Telemetry: In-Situ Dataset for Kenyan Animal Behavior Recognition from Drone Videos

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

This dataset contains the drone telemetry data associated with the [KABR](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/KABR) dataset. The KABR dataset contains annotated video behavior of zebras and giraffes at the Mpala Research Centre. This telemetry dataset contains information about the status drone during the missions, including location and altitude, along with the bounding box dimensions of the wildlife in the frame and behavior annotation information. Please see the "kabr_telemetry_metadata.csv" for more details.

## Uses

This dataset is intended to be used to provide guidance on executing wildlife behavior collection missions with drones, which can be conducted by drone pilots manually, or integrated into an autonomous navigation framework.

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

This dataset was curated to provide additional context to the KABR dataset, and provide spatial information which can be used to develop autonomous navigation algorithms for wildlife data collection.


#### Data Collection and Processing

This data was collected at the Mpala Research Centre in Laikipia, Kenya in January 2023. A DJI Mavic Air 2 drone was used to collect the data, and [AirData](https://airdata.com/) was used to process DJI telemetry files.

### Annotations

Please refer to the [KABR]((https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/KABR)) dataset and associated paper for details on the annotation process.
