RESEARCH PAPERS: Monitoring Pig Growth using a Prototype Imaging System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Knowledge of the daily growth rate of pigs would enable the stockman to monitor their performance and health, and to predict and control their market weight and date. This paper describes and evaluates the performance of an automatic image collection and analysis system designed to record the weight-related areas of pigs under production conditions. The system successfully logged the growth rates of three groups of pigs of three genetic strains to within 5%, and identified significant differences in the measured area to weight relationships for the three strains, such that linear regression coefficients could be fitted, with the same slope but different intercepts for seperate breeds.

متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of Potentiometric Principles for Bladder Volume Monitoring: A Preliminary Study
Recent advances in microelectronics and wireless transmission technology have led to the development of various implantable sensors for real-time monitoring of bladder conditions. Although various sensing approaches for monitoring bladder conditions were reported, most such sensors have remained at the laboratory stage due to the existence of vital drawbacks. In the present study, we explored a...

This paper presents both, the design and the development of a monitoring and control system via web for a closed microalgae crop and the results that were gotten using the strain Haematococcus pluvialis. The research was done at Sabana University (Colombia) and it aims to quantify the kinetic growth associated to the increment of biomass and the development of red pigment inside the cells when ...
متن کاملA secondary analyses of Bradac et al.’s prototype process-monitoring experiment
We report on the secondary analyses of some conjectures and empirical evidence presented in Bradac et al.’s prototype process-monitoring experiment, published previously in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering. We identify 13 conjectures in the original paper, and re-analyse six of these conjectures using the original evidence. Rather than rejecting any of the original conjectures, we iden...
متن کاملDeployment of a Fully-Automated Green Fluorescent Protein Imaging System in a High Arctic Autonomous Greenhouse
Higher plants are an integral part of strategies for sustained human presence in space. Space-based greenhouses have the potential to provide closed-loop recycling of oxygen, water and food. Plant monitoring systems with the capacity to remotely observe the condition of crops in real-time within these systems would permit operators to take immediate action to ensure optimum system yield and rel...
