ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF DRAUGHT LOAD PULLING ON WELFARE IN EQUIDS

Assessing the impact of draught load pulling on welfare in equids

About 112 million working equids are the source of income for 600 million people globally.Many equids are used for pulling loads (up to 15,000 kg per day) to transport goods.Most of them are associated with brick kilns, mining, and agriculture industries in developing countries.They may suffer from welfare issues such as overloading, being beaten,

Spectral Reconstruction Using an Iteratively Reweighted Regulated Model from Two Illumination Camera Responses

An improved spectral reflectance estimation method was developed to transform captured RGB images to spectral longboard dancer deck reflectance.The novelty of our method is an iteratively reweighted regulated model that combines polynomial expansion signals, which was developed for spectral reflectance estimation, and a cross-polarized imaging syst
