Overview This project proposes the development of an intelligent web-based platform that processes drone-captured videos from a 90° (top-down) angle to automatically: Count the total number of animals in the herd, and Estimate the individual and total live weight of each animal with a margin of error below 5 %. The goal is to provide farmers and livestock companies with a reliable, non-invasive tool for stock control and production monitoring — eliminating the need for corrals, scales, or physical handling. --- Recommended Recording Conditions To ensure accurate results, videos must meet the following specifications: Camera angle: 90° (completely perpendicular to the ground). Flight altitude: between 8 m and 20 m, depending on herd size and drone type. Static flight: during recording, the drone must remain as still as possible, avoiding lateral movement or rotation. > Any movement changes image scale and perspective, which can affect weight-estimation precision. Recommended duration: between 15 and 45 seconds per herd. Minimum resolution: Full HD (1920 × 1080 px). Shutter speed: high enough to avoid motion blur. Lighting: natural daylight, avoiding strong shadows or reflections. Videos can be uploaded directly to the platform or processed via cloud storage links (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox). --- Processing and Results The platform uses advanced computer-vision and AI models trained on bovine morphology. During analysis, it automatically identifies each animal in the video, assigns a temporary ID, and calculates: Individual estimated weight (kg) Average and total lot weight Total animals detected Confidence level (%) — the AI’s certainty level for each detection Once processing is complete, the user receives an automated report including: A frame or image with numbered animals A table with estimated weights and confidence levels Average and total results Downloadable PDF / CSV report and an annotated-video playback option --- Interface and User Experience Fully web-based platform, accessible from any browser (no installation required) Compatible with desktop, tablet, and smartphone Simple workflow: the user uploads the video and receives the results automatically Automatic notifications (email or WhatsApp) when analysis is complete Dashboard with video history and statistics by date or location --- Business Model Free registration including 2 trial video analyses to validate performance Afterward, users can choose between a monthly or annual subscription Optional pay-per-video model for occasional users Suggested plans: Monthly: full access to analysis tools and cloud storage Annual: same features with discounted pricing and processing priority --- Competitive Advantages Over 95 % accuracy in cattle counting and average-weight estimation Reduced operating costs by eliminating physical weighing procedures Enables non-intrusive stock monitoring over large areas Auditable, exportable, and traceable results Adaptable to different breeds and production systems across Latin America --- Purpose To modernize livestock management through a fast, precise, and automated tool that converts simple drone videos into valuable production data — providing real-time insights on animal count, total herd weight, and overall performance.
