SmARtview: An AI-powered Augmented Reality Tool for Animal Health and Productivity

想象一下，能够穿过一群奶牛，立即识别每一头奶牛--实时提取关键的个体生产力和健康数据，以便您做出最佳决策，以便为她提供最佳护理，以提高她的产量和福利。无论是饲养员、兽医、营养师、养殖技术员、农场审核员还是供应链代表，您都可以立即查看仪表盘，了解每头奶牛的表现及其健康状况。乳品行业的精密农业技术的出现，催生了奶牛体内、周围和身上的大量数据收集平台，例如动物安装的传感器(智能项圈、计步器、标签和团注)、智能挤奶机和摄像技术，以及每头奶牛的记录和观察。农场工作人员、兽医和其他顾问需要访问和解释这些多个数据流，以便做出关于奶牛健康和生产管理的数据驱动的决策。然而，访问多个数据流是极具挑战性的，更不用说分析和解释它们了。在实践中，这些数据中的许多都失去了价值，因为它们不能以及时和有洞察力的方式使用。我们结合了游戏和农业技术部门的技术来解决这一不足。SmartView集成了来自农场上部署的任何技术平台的多个数据流，使用人工智能识别每头奶牛并访问其数据，并使用AR可视化集成分析，以支持数据驱动的决策。这将使牲畜饲养者和兽医能够在检查动物的时间和地点方便地访问和解释他们所掌握的数据工具，以一种集成的形式放大任何单一数据源的价值，使其能够被用于指导护理点决策。这将提高牛群健康和生产力，通过实现效率和改善财务、动物健康和环境绩效来提高农场的整体绩效。该项目采用了激进的跨行业方法，将乳制品生产专业知识与英国博彩业的最新技术知识、创造力和用户体验专业知识相结合。

Imagine being able to walk through a herd of cows, instantly recognising each one -- distilling key individual productivity and health data in real-time, so that you can make the best decisions in order to provide her with the optimal care to enhance her production and welfare. Whether a stockperson, vet, nutritionist, breeding technician, farm assurance auditor or supply chain rep -- you can instantly view a dashboard to understand how each cow is performing and her health status, at the cowside.The emergence of precision agri-tech in the dairy sector has given rise to a multitude of data collection platforms in, around and on dairy cows, such as animal mounted sensors (smart collars, pedometers, tags and boluses), smart milking machines and camera technologies, as well as individual cow records and observations. Farm staff, vets and other advisors are required to access and interpret these multiple data-streams in order to make data-driven decisions on cow health and production management. Yet, accessing multiple data-streams, let alone analysing and interpreting them, is extremely challenging. In practice, the value of much of this data is lost because it cannot be used in a timely and insightful fashion.We have combined technology from the gaming and agri-tech sectors to solve this deficiency. SmARtview integrates multiple data-streams from any technology platform that is deployed on the farm, using AI to identify an individual cow and access her data, together with AR to visualise the integrated analysis to support data-driven decision-making. This will enable livestock keepers and vets to readily access and interpret -- at the time and place of examining an animal - the data tools at their disposal, in an integrated form that magnifies the value of any single data source -- enabling it to be used to inform point-of-care decisions.This will advance herd health and productivity, elevating the overall performance of the farm through achieving efficiencies and resulting in improved financial, animal health and environmental performance.This project takes a radical cross-sector approach by combining expertise in dairy production with the up-to-the-minute technological knowledge, creativity and user experience expertise of the UK gaming industry.
