Localisation and identification performances of a real-time location system based on ultra wide band technology for monitoring and tracking dairy cow behaviour in a semi-open free-stall barn
A UWB RTLS was installed in a free-stall barn to acquire locations of dairy cows. Rectified top-view images of barn allowed visual recognition of cows true positions. Software were specially designed to assess tag positions provided by the RTLS. RTLS localisation and identification performances were evaluated and balanced. This RTLS is suitable for cow behavioural indices computation and animal tracking.
