Abstract

In this paper, we are presenting our results for motion tracking animals in stabling. This system was used in order to record the behavior of pigs in stabling. We used an object-oriented method for our application instead of a block-oriented method. First of all, we calculated a reference image. This image was used in order to separate the objects from the background. Then, object pixels were grouped into an object by the line-coincidence method. Movement parameters are calculated for each object. Finally, an object correction is done for those objects that were occluded by the boundary of the stabling. The resulting tracking path and the movement parameters are displayed on screen for the user.
