Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 24:
25. An animal management system comprising:
one or more imaging devices;
a computing device coupled to the one or more imaging devices, wherein the computing device is configured to:
receive one or more images captured by the one or more imaging devices;
process at least one image from the one or more images using an artificial intelligence (AI) pipeline having several layers that each have a unique purpose and include one or more AI models, the AI pipeline including:
a detection level having an object detector configured to detect, and locate in the at least one image one or more animals and a classifier to classify the one or more detected animals to indicate the species thereof;
a bounding box level having one or more one or more Bounding Box AI models that are configured to generate one or more bounding boxes corresponding to one or more sections for the one or more detected animals based on the classification of the one or more detected animals;
a key point level having one or more key point AI models that are configured to determine a plurality of key points in the corresponding bounding box in each section, where the plurality of key points corresponds to anatomical features of the one or more detected animals; and
an identification layer having one or more identification AI models that are configured to: (a) normalize each of the one or more sections by projecting the determined key points, of each of the one or more sections using a reference template indicating where key points are expected to be located, (b) generate embeddings for each normalized section of the image; and (c) combine the embeddings for generating an identification of the one or more detected animals with a confidence score.
