Canine Olfactory Thresholds to Amyl Acetate in a Biomedical Detection Scenario
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019 Dogs' abilities to respond to concentrations of odorant molecules are generally deemed superior to electronic sensors. This sensitivity has been used traditionally in many areas; but is a more recent innovation within the medical field.

Dog Face Detection Using YOLO Network
MENDEL, 2020 This work presents the real-world application of the object detection which belongs to one of the current research lines in computer vision. Researchers are commonly focused on human face detection. Compared to that, the current paper presents a challenging task of detecting a dog face instead that is an object with extensive variability in appearance.

Real-Time Detection of a Virus Using Detection Dogs [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2016 Viral infections are ubiquitous in humans, animals, and plants. Real-time methods to identify viral infections are limited and do not exist for use in harsh or resource-constrained environments. Previous research identified that tissues produce unique volatile organic compounds (VOC) and demonstrated that VOC concentrations change during pathologic ...

Performing edge detection by difference of Gaussians using q-Gaussian kernels [PDF]
, 2013 In image processing, edge detection is a valuable tool to perform the extraction of features from an image. This detection reduces the amount of information to be processed, since the redundant information (considered less relevant) can be unconsidered ...

Dogs are not better than humans at detecting coherent motion [PDF]
, 2017 The ability to perceive motion is one of the main properties of the visual system. Sensitivity in detecting coherent motion has been thoroughly investigated in humans, where thresholds for motion detection are well below 10% of coherence, i.e.

Cost-effective scat-detection dogs: unleashing a powerful new tool for international mammalian conservation biology [PDF]
, 2016 Recently, detection dogs have been utilized to collect fecal samples from cryptic and rare mammals. Despite the great promise of this technique for conservation biology, its broader application has been limited by the high cost (tens to hundreds of ...

Ability of dogs to detect cows in estrus from sniffing saliva samples [PDF]
, 2013 Efficient estrus detection in high-producing dairy cows is a permanent challenge for successful reproductive performance. In former studies, dogs have been trained to identify estrus-specific odor in vaginal fluid, milk, urine, and blood samples under ...
