Vision transformers for automated detection of pig interactions in groups by Gbadegesin Taiwo, Sunil Vadera, Ali Alameer

“…The model's ability to recognize contextual spatial data enables strong detection even in complex contexts, due to the use of Gaussian Error Linear Unit (GELU) an activation function responsible for introduction of non-linear data to the model and Multi Head Attention feature that ensures all relevant details contained in a data are captured in Vision Transformer. The method provides an efficient method for monitoring swine behaviour for instance, contact between pigs, facilitating better livestock management and livestock welfare. …”
