Implementation of Machine Vision Methods for Cattle Detection and Activity Monitoring by Roman Bumbálek, Tomáš Zoubek, Jean de Dieu Marcel Ufitikirezi, Sandra Nicole Umurungi, Radim Stehlík, Zbyněk Havelka, Radim Kuneš, Petr Bartoš

“…The types of the YOLOv5 network (v5x, v5l, v5m, v5s, and v5n), the effect of the learning rate (0.1, 0.01, and 0.001), the batch size (4, 8, 16, and 32), and the effect of the optimizer used (SGD and Adam) were compared in a step-by-step process. The main focus was on mAP 0.5 and mAP 0.5:0.95 metrics and total training time, and we came to the following conclusions: In terms of optimization between time and accuracy, the YOLOv5m performed the best, with a mAP 0.5:0.95 of 0.8969 (compared to 0.9070 for YOLOv5x). …”
