Performance of detection dogs and visual searches for scat detection and discrimination amongst related species with identical diets [PDF]
Nature Conservation, 2019 Ecology often faces the problem that many threatened species are highly elusive but also conflict-laden. Thus, proper monitoring data are inevitable for their conservation and management.

Efficiency of livestock carcass detection dogs
Rangelands, 2021 There is an increasing use of carcass detection dogs to find remains of dead livestock in Norwegian rangelands. But how effective are these dogs actually? We compared the efficiency of approved carcass detection dog equipages (CDEs, i.e., dog and man) with people searching for sheep carcasses without dogs.

Identifying suitable detection dogs [PDF]
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2017 Domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) are versatile resources for humans due to a number of their physical and behavioural characteristics. Because of dogs’ olfactory acuity they have been used to detect cryptic or concealed items such as narcotics, explosives and wildlife. However, there is a wide variation in performance. This variation is often not

Enhancing the Selection and Performance of Working Dogs
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Dogs perform a variety of integral roles in our society, engaging in work ranging from assistance (e.g., service dogs, guide dogs) and therapy to detection (e.g., search-and-rescue dogs, explosive detection dogs) and protection (e.g., military and law ...

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 ...

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.

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.
