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. …”

Assessing effects of thinning on the stem form in larch during the stand initiation and stem exclusion stages using terrestrial laser scanning by Dandan Li, Dandan Li, Weiwei Jia, Weiwei Jia, Fengri Li, Fengri Li, Haotian Guo, Haotian Guo, Fan Wang, Fan Wang, Xiaoyong Zhang, Xiaoyong Zhang

“…Since TLS has difficulty capturing the diameter of canopy height, the Kozak variable-exponent taper equation is more suitable for modeling stem forms, and setting age as well as thinning intensity as dummy variables is an efficient modeling method. Overall, TLSs can be used for measuring long-term tree responses after intervention to efficiently support nondestructive forest inventories and management.…”
