Broiler Chicken Computer Vision Project
We are a team of researchers from the University of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences HAFL in Switzerland, investigating techniques for emission mitigation in broiler houses. In February 2024, we conducted a case-control study, continuously measuring emissions over an entire production cycle in two identical broiler houses located in the eastern part of Switzerland. (one campain per season) One house operated with a heat exchanger, while the other used only a conventional gas-fueled heating system as a reference.
We measured concentrations of ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2) at all air inlets and outlets using XNode sensors. Additionally, ventilation rates were continuously monitored at each outlet using measuring fans. To accurately track the number of chickens inside each broiler house, we employed nine cameras per house to monitor the outside area and count the chickens. This dataset is used to train our object detection model to automatically count the chickens.
