Researchers have developed a novel vision-based system for identifying individual farm animals, offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional RFID tags. This system utilizes 3D point cloud data captured in electronic feeding stations and employs a self-sufficient, semi-supervised framework called TARA. TARA adapts to morphological changes in livestock and uses a pseudo-labeling strategy for training, achieving 100% identification accuracy in trials with sows. AI
