Fulltime PhD position offer
M3-BIORES scientific group from the University of Leuven, Belgium offers a fulltime PhD position for 3 years on the subject “Real-time pig aggression monitoring using image analysis”.
This project is aimed at the development of a health and welfare monitor for animals based on automatic detection of visual behaviour parameters. Machine vision algorithms shall be used and further developed to calculate a number of characteristic parameters, such as animal position and movement. These parameters shall be related to specific behaviours, such as social behaviour and sickness. Automatic detection data shall be validated in collaboration with animal scientists, who will use physiological indicators of health and welfare.
