Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
College of New Caledonia
$25,000.00
Machine intelligence systems and thermal imaging technology for livestock management
FY 2016-17
Summary
Cabin Forestry Services Ltd. and the College of New Caledonia are collaborating on an applied research project to develop an innovative technology-based livestock monitoring system that integrates remote sensing, thermal imaging and machine intelligence. This collaboration will explore emerging machine learning and computer vision technologies to automate livestock counts and identification using specific thermal and visible signals captured through remote sensing platforms. This project will help Cabin Forestry Service develop a new service for agriculture clients in southern British Columbia, and will introduce a new innovation for the Canadian agriculture sector.College students in the biology and computer science programs will be involved in this project, and will develop enhanced skills around machine intelligence, applied agriculture research and remote sensing technologies. Artificial intelligence technologies are poised to disrupt many sectors of the Canadian economy, and this project will help a Canadian company and our students develop the knowledge and capacity to profit from this emerging field.
