- Cropped zebra images from KABR drone footage, manually labeled with one of eight discrete pose orientations relative to the camera. The dataset was curated to train a pose / viewpoint classifier (DINOv2 backbone + MLP head) for the [WildWing](https://github.com/Imageomics/wildwing) autonomous drone-navigation system, where knowing which side of an animal is visible drives both individual re-identification (matching against flank stripe patterns) and behavior-aware flight decisions (e.g., avoiding approaches from the front).

- This dataset contains 988 manually labeled 224x224 RGB crops of zebras observed in aerial drone footage from the [Mpala Research Centre](https://mpala.org/), Kenya. Each crop is assigned exactly one of eight pose-orientation labels describing which flank of the zebra is visible to the camera (equivalently, the direction of the zebra's head relative to the camera). An additional 35 ambiguous or unusable crops are preserved in a `_skip/` folder to document labeling decisions.
50
 
51
  The labels were created to train the pose component of the [WildWing drone-navigation stack](https://imageomics.github.io/wildwing/). WildWing combines a YOLO-based animal detector with a pose classifier so the drone can reason about how each animal in its view is oriented and make better autonomous decisions about positioning. Reliable pose estimates are particularly important for individual re-identification of zebras, which depends on matching the lateral stripe pattern \- so the classifier needs to know when a useful side view (left or right profile) is available versus when the animal is facing toward or away from the camera.

- Source frames were drawn from the same drone footage used in the [KABR dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/KABR), collected at the Mpala Research Centre in Kenya in January 2023 ([mini-scene raw videos](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/KABR-mini-scene-raw-videos) and [raw videos not used in mini-scenes](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/KABR-raw-videos)). Animals were detected in each frame with a YOLO v11 detector trained for aerial wildlife imagery (see [imageomics/mmla](https://huggingface.co/imageomics/mmla)), each bounding box was cropped from the source frame, and the resulting crops were resized to 224x224 for compatibility with the DINOv2 backbone used in the downstream classifier. Crops were sampled across multiple Mpala sessions and source videos to cover varying lighting conditions, terrain, herd densities, and altitudes.
