Validation and implementation of a remote three-dimensional accelerometer monitoring system for evaluating behavior patterns in cattle
Year: 2010
Type: dissertation
Abstract: We performed research that investigated the ability of three dimensional accelerometers to classify cattle behavior and also describe the circadian patterns within that behavior.The first of three studies (validation study) tested a decision tree classification system and its ability to describe behaviors of lying, standing, and walking.Classification accuracies for lying, standing, and walking behaviors were 99.2%, 98.0%, and 67.8% respectively, with walking behavior having significantly lower accuracy (P<0.01).This study also tested the accuracy of classifying the above behaviors using different device reporting intervals, or epochs.Reporting intervals of 3, 5, and 10 Table of Contents List of Figures .........
