2020
Scientific Reports
startle magnitude and freeze duration which were also estimated by (i) sparse feature tracking computer vision image analysis of 200 Hz video, (ii) load platform, (iii) Kinect depth camera, and (iv) Kinematic ...
Here we evaluate whether DC responses can be quantified in pigs using computer vision. 280 video clips of induced DC responses made by 12 pigs were analysed by eye to provide 'ground truth' measures of ...
During this time, the pig's behaviour was observed live by PS and a 'relaxed-tense' score given using the rating scale shown in Table S1 . ...
