Precision Livestock Farming

Winner Project in Locus Event 2019, Under Hardware Thematic Category 2019
YOLOSORTSound AnalysisIoTMobile AppAutomation

Broiler poultry welfare is hard to track at scale. PLF monitors mobility, distribution, feeding behavior and the farm environment to estimate welfare and support timely interventions.

// Overview

The project presents a novel method that monitors mobility and distribution (using camera images processed with a trained YOLO and SORT algorithm) and feeding behavior (using sound analysis) to estimate the welfare of the fowls, while providing a suitable habitat for growth with environmental sensors and AC appliances. A user-friendly mobile app monitors poultry-farm status, notifies the farmer in critical situations, and controls hardware appliances such as heaters, lights and humidifiers.

Behavior monitoring with YOLO and SORT

Monitors mobility and distribution using camera images processed with a trained YOLO and SORT algorithm, and feeding behavior using sound analysis, to estimate fowl welfare.

Tracking hens to observe distribution
Automated habitat and mobile control

Environmental sensors and AC appliances maintain a suitable habitat, while a mobile app lets the farmer monitor status and control heaters, lights and humidifiers, with alerts in critical situations.
