This makes it possible for systems to monitor and control things more easily in the physical world.<\/p>\n<p>There are already existing (non-computer vision) solutions that can track a cow\u2019s vital functions and activity in real-time. However, these are costly solutions considering they are unique sensors for each cow.\u00a0Using cameras and computer vision is a cheaper alternative solution that also allows for the tracking of a cow\u2019s behavior. With the camera\u2019s the farmer could check the video feed from their phone, whilst also trusting the system to send them an alert if something is happening that requires the farmer\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 a:not(.fusion-button):not(.fusion-builder-module-control):not(.fusion-social-network-icon):not(.fb-icon-element):not(.fusion-countdown-link):not(.fusion-rollover-link):not(.fusion-rollover-gallery):not(.fusion-button-bar):not(.add_to_cart_button):not(.show_details_button):not(.product_type_external):not(.fusion-quick-view):not(.fusion-rollover-title-link):not(.fusion-breadcrumb-link) , .fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 a:not(.fusion-button):not(.fusion-builder-module-control):not(.fusion-social-network-icon):not(.fb-icon-element):not(.fusion-countdown-link):not(.fusion-rollover-link):not(.fusion-rollover-gallery):not(.fusion-button-bar):not(.add_to_cart_button):not(.show_details_button):not(.product_type_external):not(.fusion-quick-view):not(.fusion-rollover-title-link):not(.fusion-breadcrumb-link):before, .fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 a:not(.fusion-button):not(.fusion-builder-module-control):not(.fusion-social-network-icon):not(.fb-icon-element):not(.fusion-countdown-link):not(.fusion-rollover-link):not(.fusion-rollover-gallery):not(.fusion-button-bar):not(.add_to_cart_button):not(.show_details_button):not(.product_type_external):not(.fusion-quick-view):not(.fusion-rollover-title-link):not(.fusion-breadcrumb-link):after {color: #000000;}.fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 a:not(.fusion-button):not(.fusion-builder-module-control):not(.fusion-social-network-icon):not(.fb-icon-element):not(.fusion-countdown-link):not(.fusion-rollover-link):not(.fusion-rollover-gallery):not(.fusion-button-bar):not(.add_to_cart_button):not(.show_details_button):not(.product_type_external):not(.fusion-quick-view):not(.fusion-rollover-title-link):not(.fusion-breadcrumb-link):hover, .fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 a:not(.fusion-button):not(.fusion-builder-module-control):not(.fusion-social-network-icon):not(.fb-icon-element):not(.fusion-countdown-link):not(.fusion-rollover-link):not(.fusion-rollover-gallery):not(.fusion-button-bar):not(.add_to_cart_button):not(.show_details_button):not(.product_type_external):not(.fusion-quick-view):not(.fusion-rollover-title-link):not(.fusion-breadcrumb-link):hover:before, .fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 a:not(.fusion-button):not(.fusion-builder-module-control):not(.fusion-social-network-icon):not(.fb-icon-element):not(.fusion-countdown-link):not(.fusion-rollover-link):not(.fusion-rollover-gallery):not(.fusion-button-bar):not(.add_to_cart_button):not(.show_details_button):not(.product_type_external):not(.fusion-quick-view):not(.fusion-rollover-title-link):not(.fusion-breadcrumb-link):hover:after {color: #000000;}.fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 .pagination a.inactive:hover, .fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 .fusion-filters .fusion-filter.fusion-active a {border-color: #000000;}.fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 .pagination .current {border-color: #000000; background-color: #000000;}.fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 .fusion-filters .fusion-filter.fusion-active a, .fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 .fusion-date-and-formats .fusion-format-box, .fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 .fusion-popover, .fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 .tooltip-shortcode {color: #000000;}#main .fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-2 .post .blog-shortcode-post-title a:hover {color: #000000;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\"  style='background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:25px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:25px;padding-left:0px;'><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row \"><div  class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion_builder_column_1_2 fusion-builder-column-2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first 1_2\"  style='margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;width:48%; margin-right: 4%;'><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\" style=\"padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;\"   data-bg-url=\"\"><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:15px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">The concept<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text\"><p>The idea is to use a computer vision technique called \u201cobject detection\u201d to analyze signs of cows giving birth. There are a few common visual signs that indicate a cow\u2019s upcoming labor, like a loss of appetite, restlessness through lying down and getting up continuously, lying in an abnormal position, or by the calf\u2019s feet appearing. According to the research of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0168159112001189?via%3Dihub\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Jensen, M. B.<\/a>, the cow will lay down more often but will shorten their total time spent lying down. This is helpful because based on the available supplied footage, we decided to track a cow\u2019s laying and eating behavior to determine when a cow is about to calve.<\/p>\n<\/div><div

Only Look Once or YOLO is one of the most popular algorithms in real-time object detection, as it&#8217;s made to recognize objects in images very quickly, without compromising on quality. Instead of sweeping an image bit by bit, it only needs to pass it once to output a prediction.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion_builder_column_1_2 fusion-builder-column-6 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last 1_2\"  style='margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:15px;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );'><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\" style=\"border:1px solid #3c4a5f;padding: 25px 25px 25px 25px;background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;\"   data-bg-url=\"\"><div class=\"imageframe-align-center\"><span style=\"width:100%;max-width:100px;\" class=\"fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-3 hover-type-none\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27200%27%20height%3D%27200%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20200%20200%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27200%27%20height%3D%273200%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/conclusionintelligence.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/opencv_logo.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" alt=\"\" title=\"opencv_logo\" class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-16774\"\/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep sep-double\" style=\"border-color:#ebedea;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:15px;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">OpenCV is an open-source computer programming library and plays a major role in developing a real-time computer vision application.
