Towards intelligent analytics for smarter animal behavioural analysis
ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Ong Kian Eng – Understanding and analysing animal behaviours is crucial for gaining profound insights into the health, needs, and overall well-being of the animal. This involves measuring and monitoring factors such as size, growth, poses, and actions. The analysis of animal behaviour holds significant importance in a wide range of domains and industries, such as livestock farming, veterinary sciences, scientific research, ecological and conservation studies.
