  • 通过热气体注意力机制,让模型聚焦高排放区域
  • 在视频中识别呼吸周期动态,准确判断排放通量
  • 适合畜牧业碳排放监测,可部署于大型牧场

量化自由放养牛只呼出的二氧化碳,既是反刍代谢状态的直接指标,也是农场级碳核算的前提。现有系统无法在不束缚或接触动物的情况下实现连续、空间分辨的测量。本文提出TRACE(热成像感知框架),首个统一框架,可从短波红外热视频中联合完成逐帧排放羽流分割与片段级排放通量分类。其三大创新包括:热气体感知注意力(TGAA)编码器,利用像素级气体强度作为空间监督信号,引导自注意力聚焦高排放区域;基于注意力的时间融合(ATF)模块,通过结构化跨帧注意力捕捉呼吸周期动态,实现序列级通量分类;四阶段渐进式训练流程,同时优化两个目标并避免梯度干扰。在CO2 Farm Thermal Gas Dataset上对比15个先进模型,TRACE达到0.998的mIoU,所有分割与分类指标均最优,优于参数多出数倍的专用气体分割器,且在通量分类上全面领先。消融实验表明:仅气体条件注意力即可精确定位羽流边界,时间推理对通量区分不可或缺。该框架为大规模商业牧场通过航拍热成像实现非侵入式、持续性、个体级二氧化碳监测提供了可行路径。代码已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Quantifying exhaled CO2 from free-roaming cattle is both a direct indicator of rumen metabolic state and a prerequisite for farm-scale carbon accounting, yet no existing system can deliver continuous, spatially resolved measurements without physical confinement or contact. We present TRACE (Thermal Recognition Attentive-Framework for CO2 Emissions from Livestock), the first unified framework to jointly address per-frame CO2 plume segmentation and clip-level emission flux classification from mid-wave infrared (MWIR) thermal video. TRACE contributes three domain-specific advances: a Thermal Gas-Aware Attention (TGAA) encoder that incorporates per-pixel gas intensity as a spatial supervisory signal to direct self-attention toward high-emission regions at each encoder stage; an Attention-based Temporal Fusion (ATF) module that captures breath-cycle dynamics through structured cross-frame attention for sequence-level flux classification; and a four-stage progressive training curriculum that couples both objectives while preventing gradient interference. Benchmarked against fifteen state-of-the-art models on the CO2 Farm Thermal Gas Dataset, TRACE achieves an mIoU of 0.998 and the best result on every segmentation and classification metric simultaneously, outperforming domain-specific gas segmenters with several times more parameters and surpassing all baselines in flux classification. Ablation studies confirm that each component is individually essential: gas-conditioned attention alone determines precise plume boundary localization, and temporal reasoning is indispensable for flux-level discrimination. TRACE establishes a practical path toward non-invasive, continuous, per-animal CO2 monitoring from overhead thermal cameras at commercial scale.
