The classification of sheep and goat feeding phases from acoustic signals of jaw sounds
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes and documents investigatory work for the detection and measurement of sheep rumination and mastication time periods from jaw sounds transmitted through the skull. The rumination and mastication time periods were determined by a neural network classifier using a combination of time and frequency domain features extracted from successive 10 second acoustic signal lengths. It is shown that spectral features contain most of the information required for good classification.

Combining pattern recognition and deep-learning-based algorithms to automatically detect commercial quadcopters using audio signals (Research Article)
Commercial quadcopters with many private, commercial, and public sector applications are a rapidly advancing technology. Currently, there is no guarantee to facilitate the safe operation of these devices in the community. Three different automatic commercial quadcopters identification methods are presented in this paper. Among these three techniques, two are based on deep neural networks in whi...
متن کاملAutomatic classification of normal and abnormal cardiac sounds by combining features based on wavelet transform and capstral coefficients extracted from PCG signals (Research Article)
Cardiac sounds are produced by the mechanical activities of the heart and provide useful information about the function of the heart valves. Due to the transient and unstable nature of the heart's sound and the limitation of the human hearing system, it is difficult to categorize heart sound signals based on what is heard from a stethoscope. Therefore, providing an automated algorithm for prima...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Gender and Age Classification in Speech Signals
Accurate gender classification is useful in speech and speaker recognition as well as speech emotion classification, because a better performance has been reported when separate acoustic models are employed for males and females. Gender classification is also apparent in face recognition, video summarization, human-robot interaction, etc. Although gender classification is rather mature in a...
متن کاملSeroepidemiology of coxiellosis (Q fever) in sheep and goat populations in the northeast of Iran
Coxiella burnetii is the etiological agent of coxiellosis in animals and Q fever (a zoonotic disease) in humans. Cattle, sheep and goats are the main reservoirs of infection for humans. This serological survey was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of coxiellosis in sheep and goat populations in Khorasan Razavi province, Iran. Four hundred and sixty animals (255 sheep from 29 herds in 12...
متن کاملIsolation and identification of Mycoplasma agalactiae by culture and Polymerase Chain Reaction in Sheep and Goat Milk Samples in Kordestan province, Iran
Contagious agalactiae (C.A.) is one of the most common disease affecting small ruminants which is caused by Mycoplasma agalactiae. This disease is particularly widespread around the world and Iran is one of the countries that C.A. is present. The aim of this study was isolation and identification of M. agalactiae (MG) with culture and PCR technique in milk samples in Kordestan province, Iran. A...
