PREDICTIVE MODELS TO IDENTIFY HOLSTEIN COWS AT RISK OF METRITIS AND CLINICAL CURE AND REPRODUCTIVE/PRODUCTIVE FAILURE FOLLOWING ANTIMICROBIAL TREATMENT
Abstract: Precision dairy farming, specifically the design of management strategies according to the animal’s needs, may soon become the norm since automated technologies that generate large amounts of data for each individual are becoming more affordable. Our objectives were to… Read More
HISTOGRAM LAYERS FOR TEXTURE ANALYSIS
Abstract: We present a histogram layer for artificial neural networks (ANNs). An essential aspect of texture analysis is the extraction of features that describe the distribution of values in local spatial regions. The proposed histogram layer directly computes the spatial… Read More

ADDRESSING ANNOTATION IMPRECISION FOR TREE CROWN DELINEATION USING THE RANDCROWNS INDEX
Abstract: Supervised methods for object delineation in remote sensing require labeled ground-truth data. Gathering sufficient high quality ground-truth data is difficult, especially when the targets are of irregular shape or difficult to distinguish from the background or neighboring objects. Tree… Read More
