Applied research note: Predicting carcass portion weights for purebred turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) lines using a 2D imaging system by Shai Barbut, Emily M. Leishman, Ryley J. Vanderhout, Benjamin J. Wood, Christine F. Baes

“…Although our breast meat models proved to be good, the thigh and drum models did not demonstrate a high correlation between observed and predicted weights probably due to the orientation of the image and any potential shifts made during image capture. These results represent a first step in developing prediction models for valuable turkey carcass portions using practical imaging systems. …”

A Dynamic Bayesian Approach to Computational Laban Shape Quality Analysis by Dilip Swaminathan, Harvey Thornburg, Jessica Mumford, Stjepan Rajko, Jodi James, Todd Ingalls, Ellen Campana, Gang Qian, Pavithra Sampath, Bo Peng

“…We thus introduce a novel, flexible Bayesian fusion approach for identifying LMA Shape qualities from raw motion capture data in real time. The method uses a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) to fuse movement features across the body and across time and as we discuss can be readily adapted for low-cost video. …”
