The dataset is developed during our work on Elemantra: An End-to-End Automated Framework Empowered with AI and IoT for Tackling Human-Elephant Conflict in Elephant-Range Countries.

Dataset: https://github.com/NuwanSriBandara/Elemantra/tree/main/data/Thermal_Elephant_Dataset

Project Page: https://nuwansribandara.github.io/Elemantra/

Paper Link: https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2310/2310.15012.pdf

We believe that this dataset will be instrumental as a benchmark in detecting elephants using thermal signatures.
