Abstract: The systems and methods provide a model deployment criterion. The model deployment criterion indicates a difference in a value against which the proxy model may be measured to determine when, if ever, the proxy model should be deployed to replace the existing rule engine. The model deployment criterion may be keyed to the proxy model (e.g., based on a difference in its size, throughput speed, number of changes, etc.), the existing rule engine (e.g., based on a difference in its age, update occurrences to its rule base, etc.), and/or comparisons between models (e.g., based on differences in results, throughput speed, efficiency, etc.).

Abstract: An envelope detector receives a modulated signal and a differential stage coupled to the detector produces a replica modulated signal compared to produce a PWM-modulated signal having on and off times. A first switch is actuated to short-circuit the input to the envelope detector. A second switch is actuated to feed back to a storage capacitor a signal indicative of the difference between inputs to the differential stage. A third switch is actuated to short-circuit an input to the comparator. Logic circuitry activates the switched to implement offset compensation where: the first, second and third switches are actuated in the absence of the PWM-modulated signal during start-up and standby phases; and the first, second and third switches are actuated during off times of the PWM-modulated signal in a working phase alternating with the start-up/standby phases.

Abstract: Camera device for observing and recognising a livestock animal in a shed environment, comprising a housing with an outer surface and with a light transmitting opening, an optics for forming an image of the environment, a light-sensitive sensor provided in the housing for recording the formed image, an image processing device for processing the recorded image and recognising a portion of a shed animal therein, and a control unit. A first portion of said outer surface is lighter in colour on a side of the opening at least directly around said opening than a second portion of said outer surface which is located away from said opening and which is at least half the size of the first portion. Because of the lighter colour directly around the one or more openings for the camera, there is much less soiling by flies in comparison with known cameras with black surroundings for these one or more openings. This is important for mostly autonomously operating cameras for animal recognition.

Abstract: A system includes a radiation source, an optical element, a detector, and a processor. The radiation source generates a beam of radiation. The optical element produces a non-uniform change in a phase of the beam of radiation and outputs a coherence-scrambled radiation for irradiating a target. An optical property of the optical element is tunable so as to change an amount of incoherence of the coherence-scrambled radiation. The detector receives radiation scattered by the target and generates a measurement signal based on the received radiation. The processor analyzes the measurement signal to determine a characteristic of the target.
