• Abstract summary: The cattle industry has been a major contributor to the economy of many countries, including the US and Canada. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized this sector, mirroring its transformative impact across all industries. Among these methods, pose estimation has a special place; pose estimation is the process of finding the position of joints in an image of animals.

• Abstract: The cattle industry has been a major contributor to the economy of many countries, including the US and Canada. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized this sector, mirroring its transformative impact across all industries by enabling scalable and automated monitoring and intervention practices. AI has also introduced tools and methods that automate many tasks previously performed by human labor with the help of computer vision, including health inspections. Among these methods, pose estimation has a special place; pose estimation is the process of finding the position of joints in an image of animals. Analyzing the pose of animal subjects enables precise identification and tracking of the animal's movement and the movements of its body parts. By summarizing the video and imagery data into movement and joint location using pose estimation and then analyzing this information, we can address the scalability challenge in cattle management, focusing on health monitoring, behavioural phenotyping and welfare concerns. Our study reviews recent advancements in pose estimation methodologies, their applicability in improving the cattle industry, existing challenges, and gaps in this field. Furthermore, we propose an initiative to enhance open science frameworks within this field of study by launching a platform designed to connect industry and academia.

  The emergence of COVID-19 has had a global and profound impact, not only on society as a whole, but also on the lives of individuals. Various prevention measures were introduced around the world to limit the transmission of the disease, including face masks, mandates for social distancing and regular disinfection in public spaces, and the use of screening applications. These developments triggered the need for novel and improved computer vision techniques capable of (i) providing support to the prevention measures through an automated analysis of visual data, on the one hand, and (ii) facilitating normal operation of existing vision-based services, such as biometric authentication
