Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we had fundamental researches based on motion image information and the sound signal with the aim of the non-aggressive early detection of respiratory tract infection. Specifically, the sneezing and cough detection, the sound localizations and the tracking for each pig become available based on the developed the method to estimate the sound source position of the cough and sneezing sounds, the identification method of the infected individual by the image recognition, and individual monitoring in pigpen even if the environment is inferior such as the pigpen. In addition, we have considered the technique to improve precision of the monitoring of these large-scale data.
