Another step towards accurate high throughout behaviourial phenotyping of pigs on an individual animal level is becoming possible with our new computer vision system! Check our recent published papers: authors.elsevier.com/c/1hV~XcFCSXSdE authors.elsevier.com/c/1hSZA_3qk2sY…

We proposed a novel computer vision-based methodology for the accurate detecting and tracking of individual pigs in densely-housed situations. They are just two of the research outputs, More results coming soon! Check our project page for details: gitlab.kuleuven.be/m3-biores/publ…
