Calf Tracking
General Concept Ideas
Visual System
An AI evaluates a camera image and gives out if the calf is laying or standing
Option 1: trying to fit a skeleton model and evaluate that
Option 2: Train an AI to differentiate just laying and standing → TinyML + LoRaWAN (“cheap and low power”)
ToF System
Just use a Time of Flight sensor to measure the distance between the calf and the top of the ceiling
Additional Sensors
Low-resolution thermal camera
Measure the temperature of the calf and of the ground
Air temperature and humidity tracking
Straw/Litter tracking (temperature and humidity)
Water tracking
