DATA COLLECTION: The MSU Swine Teaching and Research Facility will be one of the locations where researchers will collect new computer vision data.
The project will use a multidisciplinary network of researchers in animal science, computer science and engineering.

A team of international researchers led by Michigan State University has received a five-year, $1 million grant from USDA's Data Science for Food and Agricultural Systems program, a component of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
One of the main priorities of the DSFAS program is the formation of coordinated innovation networks that solve critical problems in food and agriculture production. The newly funded, MSU-led project is aimed at establishing a multidisciplinary network of researchers in animal science, computer science and engineering to improve computer vision systems in precision livestock farming.
