XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023 High labour requirements for fencing and animal monitoring appear to be general obstacles for the wider use of pastureland for grazing livestock. Virtual fencing (VF) enables a less laborious pasture management. Fence lines can be easily drawn and moved using GPS data.

Towards a Virtual Fencing System: Training Domestic Sheep Using Audio Stimuli. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2022 Fencing in livestock management is essential for location and movement control yet with conventional methods to require close labour supervision, leading to increased costs and reduced flexibility. Consequently, virtual fencing systems (VF) have recently

Virtual Fencing Technology Excludes Beef Cattle from an Environmentally Sensitive Area. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2020 The eShepherd® virtual fencing system being commercialized for cattle has the potential to exclude cattle from environmentally sensitive areas. Animals are given audio cues to indicate a fence line via a neckband device.

Temporary Exclusion of Cattle from a Riparian Zone Using Virtual Fencing Technology. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2018 Grazing cattle can both negatively and positively impact riparian zones, dependent on controlled grazing management. Virtual fencing technology, using collar devices that operate via GPS can provide audio cues and electrical stimuli to temporarily ...

Energy-efficient localization for virtual fencing [PDF]
Proceedings of the 9th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks, 2010 This poster addresses the tradeoff between energy consumption and localization performance in a mobile sensor network application. It focuses on combining GPS location with more energy-efficient location sensors to bound position estimate uncertainty in order to prolong node lifetime.

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Autonomous vehicles are required to operate in an uncertain environment. Recent advances in computational intelligence techniques make it possible to understand driving scenes in various environments by using a semantic segmentation neural network, which assigns a class label to each pixel.

Insights into German Consumers' Perceptions of Virtual Fencing in Grassland-Based Beef and Dairy Systems: Recommendations for Communication. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2020 The share of cattle grazing on grassland is decreasing in many European countries. While the production costs of intensive stall-based beef and dairy systems are usually lower per kg product, grazing-based systems provide more ecosystem services that are
