+
+### Dataset Summary
+BaboonLand is an aerial drone video dataset of wild olive baboons (*Papio anubis*) collected over 21 consecutive days in Laikipia (Mpala Research Centre), Kenya, following three troops during morning and evening movements to and from sleeping sites. The dataset contains UAV footage across diverse environments (e.g., sleeping tree, river, rock, open savannah, cliff), with up to ~70 individuals per frame, yielding dense multi-object scenes from an overhead viewpoint. 
+
+The dataset supports three core subtasks: detection, multi-object tracking, and behavior recognition. It includes (1) a detection dataset derived from ~5.3K-resolution frames via multi-scale tiling (≈30K images), (2) ~0.5 hours of dense tracking annotations, and (3) ~20 hours of behavior “mini-scenes” annotated into 12 behavior classes and additional category for occlusions.
+
+### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
+
+#### Detection
+We evaluate YOLOv8-X model with input resolution of 768x768 on our dataset and report mAP@50, Precision, and Recall:

+
+## Dataset Structure
+
+BaboonLand provides original videos, CVAT-formatted annotations, derived mini-scenes, and scripts to generate task-specific training formats (e.g., Ultralytics/YOLO and Charades for SlowFast).

+
+### Data Instances
+Each `dataset/video_k/` directory contains:
+
+- `video.mp4`: original UAV video
+- `tracks.xml`: per-frame tracks (IDs + bounding boxes)
+- `actions/*.xml`: per-track behavior labels (filename matches track ID)
+- `mini-scenes/*.mp4`: cropped clips centered on each tracked individual (filename matches track ID)
+
+### Data Fields
+BaboonLand supports three derived tasks:
+
+- **Detection:** bounding boxes for baboons (also convertible to Ultralytics/YOLO format via provided scripts).
+- **Tracking:** per-frame tracks with persistent IDs and bounding boxes (stored in simplified CVAT for video 1.1).
+- **Behavior recognition:** per-individual **mini-scenes** (cropped clips centered on each tracked individual) labeled into **12 behavior classes + Occluded**.
+
+### Data Splits
+BaboonLand includes task-specific evaluation sets:
+
+- **Tracking:** 75% of each video for training, 25% for testing.
+- **Detection (YOLO-formatted):** 80% training, 7% validation, 13% testing.
+- **Behavior recognition (Charades format):** 75% training, 25% testing.
+
+#### Data Collection and Procedures
+- **Species:** Olive baboons (*Papio anubis*)
+- **Location:** Mpala Research Centre, Laikipia County, Kenya
+- **Capture:** DJI Air 2S, videos recorded in **5.3K**
+- **Procedure:** all flights were conducted above 20 meters from a closes animal.
+
