Horse Automated Behaviour Identification Tool (2016)
The Horse Automated Behaviour Identification Tool (HABIT) is a interdisciplinary animal-computer interaction research project which could help us understand what animals are thinking and feeling. The aim of the software is to identify horse behaviour from unconstrained (amateur) video so we humans can interpret those reactions and understand why they are happening.
By bringing together experts in animal computer interaction, equitation science, ethology, animal behaviour and biomedical engineering the aim of HABIT is to develop a software programme that will automatically identify the behaviour horses are exhibiting and tell us whether the horse is stressed, sick or suffering.
