Deep Learning Empowered Wearable-Based Behavior Recognition for Search and Rescue Dogs
Sensors, 2022 Search and Rescue (SaR) dogs are important assets in the hands of first responders, as they have the ability to locate the victim even in cases where the vision and or the sound is limited, due to their inherent talents in olfactory and auditory senses ...

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 ...
