Collaborative project: smart Multisensor Integration for Livestock Care - subproject D (smartMILC)
Project
Project code: 28DK110D20
Contract period: 15.09.2021
- 14.09.2024
Budget: 83,471 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 barn' to support agricultural processes and services, with a particular application focus on 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 behavioural parameters and health indicators. Digitalisation - and the associated technology and data-driven innovations - offer the opportunity to realise more sustainable and effective agriculture by facilitating work processes, ensuring high process qualities, optimising management procedures, increasing animal welfare, ensuring occupational safety and promoting the human-animal relationship. Such innovations include holistic precision farming systems, but also 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 realise a cognitive system for seeing, hearing and evaluating environmental information.
