Abstract We introduce Gaussian Articulated Template Model (GART) an explicit efficient and
expressive representation for non-rigid articulated subject capturing and rendering from …

Animals move in three dimensions (3D). Thus, 3D measurement is necessary to report the
true kinematics of animal movement. Existing 3D measurement techniques draw on …

Surveillance and analysis of behavior can be used to detect and characterize health
disruption and welfare status in animals. The accurate identification of changes in behavior …

Understandings of the three-dimensional social behaviors of freely moving large-size
mammals are valuable for both agriculture and life science, yet challenging due to …

Simple Summary Lameness, an alteration of the gait due to pain or dysfunction of the
locomotor system, is the most common disease symptom in horses. Yet, it is difficult for …

Data-driven three-dimensional parametric shape models of the human body have gained
enormous popularity both for the analysis of visual data and for the generation of synthetic …

Highlights•A framework for automatic body measurement of livestock is
proposed.•Parametric model is introduced to improve the robustness of body …

Many classical parametric 3D shape models exist, but creating novel shapes with such
models requires expert knowledge of their parameters. For example, imagine creating a …

We propose an approach to automatically extract the 3D pose of dogs from single-view RGB
images using only synthetic data for training. Due to the lack of suitable 3D datasets …

Studies of quadruped animal motion help us to identify diseases, understand behavior and
unravel the mechanics behind gaits in animals. The horse is likely the best-studied animal in …
