Scientists at the University of the West of England are using face recognition to detect different emotional states in pigs in order to alert farmers to any health and welfare problems
The agri-food industry is on the verge of a revolution thanks to advances in precision farming. Machine vision plays a crucial role in these advances, as Keely Portway finds out
UK Research and Innovation, through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, will invest up to £20 million in innovation projects. These must improve productivity and sustainability by developing enhanced decision support, precision agriculture technology solutions and systems for crop and ruminant agriculture.
This briefing event will include:
Andrew Williams on the uses and current state of hyperspectral imaging, along with the technique’s potential as an industrial inspection tool
The harvesting process could be on the verge of a complete overhaul thanks to machine vision, finds Matthew Dale
Rob Ashwell examines the growing use of hyperspectral imaging in food production
Jessica Rowbury looks at how imaging technology is allowing farmers to reduce their environmental impact while improving profitability
Greg Blackman looks at the relatively recent introduction of vision in farming, from measuring vigour in vineyards to grading cherries
