Image Recognition
Cattle producers are now able to use facial recognition through a phone app to identify their livestock, and an Aggie had a hand in developing the technology used to do it. Elliott explained 406 Bovine is working with producers to gather data and develop technology for cattle from birth to weaning age. The answer for this from 406 Bovine is facial recognition, which Elliott said is the most reliable and scalable solution to AII. The German group told 406 Bovine members if they cracked the code on black-hided Angus cattle, the rest would be easier. Roberts said 406 Bovine is currently developing technology for horses and has plans to eventually go after the cat and dog market.
