Livestock Informatics Toolkit: A Case Study in Visually Characterizing Complex Behavioral Patterns across Multiple Sensor Platforms, Using Novel Unsupervised Machine Learning and Information Theoretic Approaches.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Large and densely sampled sensor datasets can contain a range of complex stochastic structures that are difficult to accommodate in conventional linear models. This can confound attempts to build a more complete picture of an animal's behavior by agg...

Farm robots: ecological utopia or dystopia?

Trends in ecology & evolution
Farm robots may lead to an ecological utopia where swarms of small robots help in overcoming the yield penalties and labor requirements associated with agroecological farming - or a dystopia with large robots cultivating monocultures. Societal discus...

Hyperspectral band selection and modeling of soil organic matter content in a forest using the Ranger algorithm.

PloS one
Effective soil spectral band selection and modeling methods can improve modeling accuracy. To establish a hyperspectral prediction model of soil organic matter (SOM) content, this study investigated a forested Eucalyptus plantation in Huangmian Fores...

3D Reconstruction of Non-Rigid Plants and Sensor Data Fusion for Agriculture Phenotyping.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Technology has been promoting a great transformation in farming. The introduction of robotics; the use of sensors in the field; and the advances in computer vision; allow new systems to be developed to assist processes, such as phenotyping, of crop's...

Soil Nutrient Estimation and Mapping in Farmland Based on UAV Imaging Spectrometry.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Soil nutrient is one of the most important properties for improving farmland quality and product. Imaging spectrometry has the potential for rapid acquisition and real-time monitoring of soil characteristics. This study aims to explore the preprocess...

Using machine learning improves predictions of herd-level bovine tuberculosis breakdowns in Great Britain.

Scientific reports
In the United Kingdom, despite decades of control efforts, bovine tuberculosis (bTB) has not been controlled and currently costs ~ £100 m annually. Critical in the failure of control efforts has been the lack of a sufficiently sensitive diagnostic te...

Visual Guidance and Egg Collection Scheme for a Smart Poultry Robot for Free-Range Farms.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Free-range chicken farming allows egg-laying hens to move freely through their environment and perform their natural behavior, including laying her eggs. However, it takes time to gather these eggs manually, giving rise to high labor costs. This stud...

Degradation of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) by Stenotrophomonas sp. YCJ1 isolated from farmland soil.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
In recent years, poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) has been widely used. However, PBAT-degrading bacteria have rarely been reported. PBAT-degrading bacteria were isolated from farmland soil and identified. The effects of growth factors ...

Automatic Cow Location Tracking System using Ear Tag Visual Analysis.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Nowadays, for numerous reasons, smart farming systems focus on the use of image processing technologies and 5G communications. In this paper, we propose a tracking system for individual cows using an ear tag visual analysis. By using ear tags, the fa...

Artificial Intelligence Applied to a Robotic Dairy Farm to Model Milk Productivity and Quality based on Cow Data and Daily Environmental Parameters.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Increased global temperatures and climatic anomalies, such as heatwaves, as a product of climate change, are impacting the heat stress levels of farm animals. These impacts could have detrimental effects on the milk quality and productivity of dairy ...
