Excretion Detection in Pigsties Using Convolutional and Transformerbased Deep Neural Networks

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2412.00256v3 Announce Type: replace Animal excretions in form of urine puddles and feces are a significant source of emissions in livestock farming. Automated detection of soiled floor in barns can contribute to improved management processes but also the derived information can be used to model emission dynamics. Previous research approaches to determine the puddle area require manual detection of the puddle in the barn.
