We introduce MABe22, a large-scale, multi-agent video and trajectory benchmark to assess the quality of learned behavior representations. This dataset is collected from a variety of biology experiments, and includes triplets of interacting…
Body condition score (BCS) is a widely used indicator of body energy status and is closely associated with metabolic status, reproductive performance, and health in dairy cattle; however, conventional visual scoring is subjective and…
Purpose: We compared the performance of deep learning (DL) and classical machine learning (ML) algorithms for the classification of 24-hour movement behavior into sleep, sedentary, light intensity physical activity (LPA), and…
Being able to assess dog personality can be used to, for example, match shelter dogs with future owners, and personalize dog activities. Such an assessment typically relies on experts or psychological scales administered to dog owners, both…
Random convolution kernel transform (Rocket) is a fast, efficient, and novel approach for time series feature extraction using a large number of independent randomly initialized 1-D convolution kernels of different configurations. The…
Existing image/video datasets for cattle behavior recognition are mostly small, lack well-defined labels, or are collected in unrealistic controlled environments. This limits the utility of machine learning (ML) models learned from them.…
Genuine leather, such as the hides of cows, crocodiles, lizards and goats usually contain natural and artificial defects, like holes, fly bites, tick marks, veining, cuts, wrinkles and others. A traditional solution to identify the defects…
Detecting elephants through seismic signals is an emerging research topic aimed at developing solutions for Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC). Despite the promising results, such solutions heavily rely on manual classification of elephant…
In this paper, we examine the use of data from multiple sensing modes, i.e., accelerometry and global navigation satellite system (GNSS), for classifying animal behavior. We extract three new features from the GNSS data, namely, distance…
We demonstrate a working prototype for the monitoring of cow welfare by automatically analysing the animal behaviours. Deep learning models have been developed and tested with videos acquired in a farm, and a precision of 81.2\% has been…
Activity recognition computer vision algorithms can be used to detect the presence of autism-related behaviors, including what are termed "restricted and repetitive behaviors", or stimming, by diagnostic instruments. The limited data that…
Activity and behaviour correlate with dairy cow health and welfare, making continual and accurate monitoring crucial for disease identification and farm productivity. Manual observation and frequent assessments are laborious and…
Wearable sensors and IoT/IoMT platforms enable continuous, real-time monitoring, but objective digital markers for eating disorders are limited. In this study, we examined whether actimetry and machine learning (ML) could provide objective…
One of the interests of modern poultry farming is the vocalization of laying hens which contain very useful information on health behavior. This information is used as health and well-being indicators that help breeders better monitor…
The interaction between the vestibular and ocular system has primarily been studied in controlled environments. Consequently, off-the shelf tools for categorization of gaze events (e.g. fixations, pursuits, saccade) fail when head movements…
The problem of autonomous transportation in industrial scenarios is receiving a renewed interest due to the way it can revolutionise internal logistics, especially in unstructured environments. This paper presents a novel architecture…
This study presents an automated lameness detection system that uses deep-learning image processing techniques to extract multiple locomotion traits associated with lameness. Using the T-LEAP pose estimation model, the motion of nine…
Linear classifiers with random convolution kernels are computationally efficient methods that need no design or domain knowledge. Unlike deep neural networks, there is no need to hand-craft a network architecture; the kernels are randomly…
Objectives. The aim of the present study was to develop a fully deep learning model to reduce the intra- and inter-operator reproducibility of sector classification systems for predicting unerupted maxillary canine likelihood of impaction.…
Animal vocalisations contain important information about health, emotional state, and behaviour, thus can be potentially used for animal welfare monitoring. Motivated by the spectro-temporal patterns of chick calls in the time$-$frequency…
