“…Oppedal et al, 2011). While such studies represent essential building blocks for the development of new technologybased methods for intensive aquaculture, the tools for drawing a foundation for decision support by combining monitoring technologies with knowledge on the biological characteristics of fish population has been non-existent (Føre et al, 2018). Hence, an adaptation of the methodology therein to fish farming will build a bridge between technological and biological research results and efforts.…”

Economic pressures continue to mount on modern-day livestock farmers, forcing them to increase herds sizes in order to be commercially viable. The natural consequence of this is to drive the farmer and the animal further apart. However, closer attention to the animal not only positively impacts animal welfare and health but can also increase the capacity of the farmer to achieve a more sustainable production. State-of-the-art precision livestock farming (PLF) technology is one such means of bringing the animals closer to the farmer in the facing of expanding systems. Contrary to some current opinions, it can offer an alternative philosophy to 'farming by numbers'. This review addresses the key technology-oriented approaches to monitor animals and demonstrates how image and sound analyses can be used to build 'digital representations' of animals by giving an overview of some of the core concepts of PLF tool development and value discovery during PLF implementation. The key to developing such a representation is by measuring important behaviours and events in the livestock buildings. The application of image and sound can realise more advanced applications and has enormous potential in the industry. In the end, the importance lies in the accuracy of the developed PLF applications in the commercial farming system as this will also make the farmer embrace the technological development and ensure progress within the PLF field in favour of the livestock animals and their well-being. ImplicationsThis work address the main approaches utilised in developing precision livestock farming tools. Precision livestock farming is an approach that enables the farmer with more objective information about the animal to make better choices about the sustainability of their production system. This paper demonstrates some of the key solutions and the approaches taken to develop technologies with sound and image analyses. †

“…This shows that the more acces farmers in obtaining technology resources mastery, the higher the quality of broiler farming business. Pivoto et al (2018) Smart Farming (SF) involves the incorporation of information and communication technologies into machinery, equipment, and sensors for use in agricultural production systems, so this can only be achieved through increased use of emerging technologies and automated systems (Føre et al 2018) such as geographical and farm related risk factors for Newcastle disease (Wiseman et al 2018).…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan indikator sumber daya yang berpengaruh terhadap pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Agustus 2017 hingga Januari 2018 di Kabupaten Malang, Provinsi Jawa Timur, Indonesia. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 100 peternak ayam broiler. Variabel penelitian terdiri dari sumber daya finansial, teknologi, fisik, ekonomi, lingkungan, sosial, Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM), dan pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler. Data dianalisis menggunakan metode SEM dengan SmartPLS 2.0. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler dipengaruhi secara langsung dan signifikan oleh sumber daya finansial, fisik, ekonomi, dan SDM, namun tidak signifikan oleh sumber daya teknologi, lingkungan, dan sosial. Pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler secara tidak langsung melalui SDM dipengaruhi secara signifikan oleh sumber daya finansial, teknologi, fisik, dan ekonomi. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ialah sumber daya teknologi berperan penting walau tidak secara langsung karena harus didukung oleh SDM peternak dalam pengembangan usaha peternakan broiler.

“…Traditional fishing activities, the rapid development of underwater renewable energy plants, the expansion of fish farms and the increasing requirements for surveying ageing infrastructures (e.g., dams, water reservoirs, harbour facilities); all call for rapid technological advances in underwater observation technologies. For example, in fisheries and aquaculture, there is a need of high quality and real-time data on, namely, fish abundances and size, as well as identification of marine habitat status, to achieve the sustainable management of these resources [25][26][27]. Food supply from the ocean now contribute more than 15% of the overall amount of animal protein consumed worldwide [28], hence it is essential for human health and wellbeing that these resources are managed at sustainable levels.…”

Range-Gated Imaging System for Underwater Monitoring in Ocean Environment

High-quality video observations are very much needed in underwater environments for the monitoring of several ecosystem indicators and to support the sustainable development and management of almost all activities in the ocean. Reliable video observations are however challenging to collect, because of the generally poor visibility conditions and the difficulties to deploy cost-effective sensors and platforms in the marine environment. Visibility in water is regulated by natural light availability at different depths, and by the presence of suspended particles, scattering incident light in all directions. Those elements are also largely variable in time and space, making it difficult to identify technological solutions that can be used in all conditions. By combining state-of-the-art "time of flight" (ToF) image sensors and innovative pulsed laser illumination, we have developed a range-gated camera system (UTOFIA) that enables affordable and enhanced 3D underwater imaging at high resolution. This range-gated solution allows users to eliminate close-range backscattering, improving quality of the images and providing information on the distance of each illuminated object, hence giving access to real-time 3D measurements. Furthermore, as the system is based on pulsed laser light, it is almost independent of natural light conditions and can achieve similar performances at an extended depth range. We use this system to collect observations in different oceanographic conditions and for different applications, including aquaculture monitoring, seafloor mapping, litter identifications and structure inspection. Performances are evaluated by comparing images to regular cameras and by using standard targets to assess accuracy and precision of distance measurements. We suggest that this type of technology can become a standard in underwater 3D imaging to support the future development of the ocean economy.Sustainability 2019, 11, 162 2 of 13 create a turbid environment that strongly increases light scattering and enhances the absorption probability of photons [3]. When the light source is the sun, this process effectively decreases the amount of ambient light present at any depth and limits the range of visual observations. With artificial illumination, the range for underwater vision can be extended (for example we can move deeper) but at the cost of degrading image contrast due to (forward-and back-) scattering generated by suspended particles. The situation is similar to driving a car in foggy conditions with the headlights on: increasing the power of illumination does not improve the visibility, as the backscattering increases proportionally. Image contrast is also lowered with shorter visual range as the light attenuation will reduce the illumination of distant targets. These factors remain the outstanding challenges in underwater imaging and limit the application of visual observations in many sectors [1,2,4].Various optical and acoustic imaging systems for mitigating or solving these problems are under constant develo...
