“…Body temperature, a crucial health indicator, is categorized into three classes based on the measurement zone: core temperature (measured close to the main organs via various sensors), mid-peripheral temperature (measured between the core and skin using implanted microchips), and peripheral or surface temperature (measured from the animals skin, eye, ear, udder, or leg) [ 45 ]. External measurements are less reliable because of factors such as vasodilatation, vasoconstriction, and external heat sources.…”

Pig farming, a vital industry, necessitates proactive measures for early disease detection and crush symptom monitoring to ensure optimum pig health and safety. This review explores advanced thermal sensing technologies and computer vision-based thermal imaging techniques employed for pig disease and piglet crush symptom monitoring on pig farms. Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-invasive and efficient technology for measuring pig body temperature, providing advantages such as non-destructive, long-distance, and high-sensitivity measurements. Unlike traditional methods, IRT offers a quick and labor-saving approach to acquiring physiological data impacted by environmental temperature, crucial for understanding pig body physiology and metabolism. IRT aids in early disease detection, respiratory health monitoring, and evaluating vaccination effectiveness. Challenges include body surface emissivity variations affecting measurement accuracy. Thermal imaging and deep learning algorithms are used for pig behavior recognition, with the dorsal plane effective for stress detection. Remote health monitoring through thermal imaging, deep learning, and wearable devices facilitates non-invasive assessment of pig health, minimizing medication use. Integration of advanced sensors, thermal imaging, and deep learning shows potential for disease detection and improvement in pig farming, but challenges and ethical considerations must be addressed for successful implementation. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art technologies used in the pig farming industry, including computer vision algorithms such as object detection, image segmentation, and deep learning techniques. It also discusses the benefits and limitations of IRT technology, providing an overview of the current research field. This study provides valuable insights for researchers and farmers regarding IRT application in pig production, highlighting notable approaches and the latest research findings in this field.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming increasingly popular, and machine-to-machine (M2M) technology is one of its major components. Reducing human interaction and tasks is one of the most important justifications for research in M2M communication. Also, M2M technology decreases network traffic, improving network effectiveness. In contrast, multiple networks are combined into M2M networks, which leads to security-related design concerns. However, a significant barrier to its growth is security. According to statistics, new gadgets may come under attack five minutes after they connect to the Internet. If these issues are resolved, it will be easier for people to trust this worldview. Security issues with possible solutions have gotten little attention despite extensive M2M studies. This article provides a comprehensive security analysis of M2M communication technologies, exploring the risks and solutions to better comprehend M2M communication and its security implications.
