Researchers have developed a new computer vision system capable of accurately identifying specific anatomical regions on dairy cows in real-time within commercial rotary milking parlors. This system utilizes RGB-D imagery to detect ten bony landmarks and four key dorsal regions, including the rump and tail-head, with high precision. The model achieves a processing speed of 26.4 milliseconds per frame on a T4 GPU, making it suitable for integration with commercial camera systems operating at 11 frames per second. The system demonstrates strong transfer learning capabilities, requiring only ten labeled frames to adapt to new environments, and has been shown to integrate with thermal cameras for temperature monitoring.
