Collaborative project: smart Multisensor Integration for Livestock Care - subproject A (smartMILC)
Project
Project code: 28DK110A20
Contract period: 15.09.2021
- 14.09.2024
Budget: 491,133 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: indicators, AI Artificial Intelligence, Precision livestock farming, cattle
The smartMILC project aims to explore the establishment of a 'digital stable' to support agricultural processes and services with a particular application focus on the livestock cattle through the joint use of multi-sensor networks and AI models. To this end, the consortium is developing intelligent interactions between previously separate functional circuits that enable automated actions based on perceptible behavioral parameters and health indicators. Digitization - and the accompanying technology- and data-driven innovations - offer the opportunity to realize more sustainable and effective agriculture by helping to facilitate work processes, ensure high process qualities, optimize management procedures, increase animal welfare, ensure occupational safety and promote the human-animal relationship. Such innovations include holistic precision farming systems, as well as products such as drone-based detection and robotic systems, and AI-based depth sensors, such as the Microsoft Kinect DK. Such devices consist of a composite of depth sensors, RGB cameras, and multiple microphones to capture the depth, sounds, and visuals of a given space (hereafter, multi-sensor composite). The raw data is particularly suitable for artificial intelligence (AI) models and methods to perform activity and object recognition, and to realize a cognitive system for seeing, hearing, and evaluating environmental information.
