Exploring the Potential of Machine Learning Algorithms Associated with the Use ...
Gonçalves, Pedro; Marques, Maria do Rosário; Belo, Ana Teresa; Monteiro, António; Morais, João; Riegel, Ivo; Braz, FernandoThe autonomous identification of animal births has a significant added value, since it enables for a prompt timely human intervention in the process, protecting the young and the mothers’ health, without requiring continuous human surveillance. Wearable inertial sensors have been employed for a variety of animal monitoring applications, thanks to their low cost and the fact that they allow less invasive monitor...
Goat Kidding Dataset
Gonçalves, Pedro; Marques, Maria R.; Belo, Ana T.; Monteiro, António; Braz, FernandoThe detection of kidding in production animals is of the utmost importance, given the frequency of problems associated with the process, and the fact that timely human help can be a safeguard for the well-being of the mother and kid. The continuous human monitoring of the process is expensive, given the uncertainty of when it will occur, so the establishment of an autonomous mechanism that does so would allow c...
Sheep Nocturnal Activity Dataset
Monteiro, António; Gonçalves, Pedro; Marques, Maria R.; Belo, Ana T.; Braz, FernandoMonitoring sheep’s behavior is of paramount importance, because deviations from normal patterns may indicate nutritional, thermal or social stress, changes in reproductive status, health issues, or predator attacks. The night period, despite being a more restful period in which animals are theoretically sleeping and resting, represents approximately half of the life cycle of animals; therefore, its study is of ...
