Collaborative project: smart Multisensor Integration for Livestock Care - subproject B (smartMILC)
Project
Project code: 28DK110B20
Contract period: 15.09.2021
- 14.09.2024
Budget: 194,536 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: indicators, AI Artificial Intelligence, Precision livestock farming, cattle
The smartMILC project aims to investigate the establishment of a 'digital stable' to support agricultural processes and services with a special focus on cattle through the joint use of multi-sensor networks and AI models. For this purpose, the consortium is developing intelligent interactions between previously separate functional groups that enable automated actions based on perceptible behavioral parameters and health indicators. Digitization - and the associated technology and data-driven innovations - offer the opportunity for more sustainable and more effective agriculture by making work processes easier, ensuring high process quality, optimizing management processes, increasing animal welfare, ensuring occupational safety and promoting the interaction between animal and worker. Such innovations include holistic precision farming systems, but also products such as drone-based detection and robot systems as well as AI-based depth sensors such as the Microsoft Kinect DK. Such devices consist of a network of depth sensors, RGB cameras and several microphones in order to record the depth, noise and appearance of a certain room (hereinafter multi-sensor network). The raw data are particularly suitable for models and methods of artificial intelligence (AI) to carry out activity and object recognition and to implement a cognitive system for seeing, hearing and evaluating information about the surroundings.
