Abstract

Although separation of touching pigs in real-time is an important issue for a 24-h pig monitoring system, it is challenging to separate accurately the touching pigs in a crowded pig room. In this study, we propose a separation method for touching pigs using the information generated from Convolutional Neural Network(CNN). Especially, we apply one of the CNN-based object detection methods(i.e., You Look Only Once, YOLO) to solve the touching objects separation problem in an active manner. First, we evaluate and select the bounding boxes generated from YOLO, and then separate touching pigs by analyzing the relations between the selected bounding boxes. Our experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective than widely-used methods for separating touching pigs, in terms of both accuracy and execution time.
