BoviPhIT
Low-Cost 3D Phenotyping
Our AI-powered phenotyping platform is designed to help farmers objectively evaluate the structural traits of their cattle. Use technology already in your back pocket to produce high resolution 3D scans or your cows. Submit to the cloud to automatically extract highly accurate measures of all the same angles and proportions your livestock judging coach taught you to look for in a good cow.
AI-Powered Technology Designed To Be
Accessible
We are dedicated to building AI tools that are practical and affordable for herds of all shapes and sizes
Objective
Our measurement-based approach to phenotyping relies on geometric calculations, not subjective opinions
Interpretable
No black boxes. We explain how every measurement is calculated, then use AI to help you visualize key patterns
How It Works
Scan with your iPhone
- Create a high-resolution 3D scan, a "digital twin", of key structural traits of your cattle - feet, udder, pelvis, anything they will stand still for - using the LiDAR camera available on the iPhone Pro/Max.
- 3D scans are rendered, saved, and reviewed through the BoviPhIT App, free to download/use through the App Store.
- No wifi or 3G is required, allowing you to scan anywhere chuteside.
- Reliably scan a foot or pelvis <20 seconds. See our 'Tips on Scanning' page.
Upload to the Cloud
- Select scans in the app to upload to the cloud for further evaluation
- Easily search and subset scans by parameters like scan date and herd
- Review past scans in detail using our low-bandwidth friendly 3D viewer
- Generate sharable links to send your scans to anyone you like - your vet, your hoof trimmer, potential cattle buyers - no user account required
- Pay only for what you use - cost calculated on per scan/report basis
Extract Measurements
- When a scan is submitted with a specified body type (ie - not type "Other"), it will be passed into our pipeline of patented computer vision algorithms
- The key anatomical landmarks will be automatically annotated within the scan
- The position of these landmarks in 3D spaces used to extract objective measurements of all the angles and proportions our livestock judging coaches taught us to look for (plus a few beyond the human eye).
- By using 3D geometry, we totally avoid any issues with camera angle
Share Comprehensive Phenotype
- Creat a comprehensive phenotype report, to share multipe scans and geometric measurements for the same cow.Share scans of any structural trait, even if we don't have measurements automated yet. Select scans of type "other" and the 3D scan will still be shared at the bottom of the report.
- Easily link this report to your sales catalogue & cattle marking materials through our generated QR code. Reports can be viewed by anyone with the link/QR, without creating an account.
- Select multiple phenotype reports to create a digital catalouges for a cohort of cattle, and link all to the full collection of reports via QR code
Analyze
- Explore patterns in you phenotype data using AI-enhanced data visualizations.
- Our analytics modules are designed to empower your breeding and management decisions with data, not cut you out of decision making process with black box algorithms trained on a totally different farm.
- Audit your herd for its structural sufficiency using custom-set benchmarks
- Set up alerts to let you know when scans are submitted that fall outside of your specified limits of structural integrity, to develop custom intervention plans (extra trimmings, extra feed, culling priority, etc)
