For both pigs in commercial farms and biological experimental pigs at breeding bases, mounting behaviour is likely to cause damage such as epidermal wounds, lameness and fractures, and will no doubt reduce animal welfare. The purpose of this paper is...

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a popular modality for tumor treatment. However, inexpensive real-time monitoring of RFA within multiple tissue types is still an ongoing research topic. The objective of this study is to utilize multi-frequency elect...
Segmentation of lungs with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a challenging task due to diffuse opacification in dependent regions which results in little to no contrast at the lung boundary. For segmentation of severely injured lungs, loc...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) able to describe population differences can be used for important applications in livestock, including breed assignment of individual animals, authentication of mono-breed products and parentage verification amo...
OBJECTIVES: An extended-wavelength diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (EWDRS) technique was evaluated for its ability to differentiate between and classify different skin and tissue types in an in vivo pig model.

Microwave ablation (MWA) for cancer treatment is frequently monitored by ultrasound (US) B-mode imaging in the clinic, which often fails due to the low intrinsic contrast between the thermal lesion and normal tissue. Deep learning, especially convolu...
Haptic feedback for flexible endoscopic surgical robots is challenging due to space constraints for sensors and shape-dependent force hysteresis of tendon-sheath mechanisms (TSMs). This paper proposes (1) a single-axis fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based...
Posture detection targeted towards providing assessments for the monitoring of health and welfare of pigs has been of great interest to researchers from different disciplines. Existing studies applying machine vision techniques are mostly based on me...
Investments in biosecurity practices are made by producers to reduce the likelihood of introducing pathogens such as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv). The assessment of biosecurity practices in breeding herds is usually don...
