Livestock production is vital in eradicating poverty, malnutrition, and attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) developing regions such as Africa. The livestock sector Africa contributes 10%–44% gross domestic product more than 70% greenhouse gas emissions continent. With anticipated increase demand for products, need to mitigate climate change, lack accurate census data, innovative remote sensing technologies methods become crucial sector. In this paper, we present a review...
Abstract Background Neonatal mortality rate in Kenya continues to be unacceptably high. In reducing newborn deaths, inequality access care and quality have been identified as current barriers. Contributing these barriers are the bypassing behaviour geographical which leads delay seeking care. This study (i) measured accessibility of inpatient care, (ii), characterized using seekers. Methods Geographical units was modelled based on travel time across Bungoma County. Data then collected from 8...
Accurate livestock counts are essential for effective pastureland management. High spatial resolution remote sensing, coupled with deep learning, has shown promising results in detection. However, challenges persist, particularly when the targets small and a heterogeneous environment, such as those African rangelands. This study evaluated nine state-of-the-art object detection models, four variants each from YOLOv5 YOLOv8, Faster R-CNN, detecting cattle 10 cm aerial RGB imagery Kenya. The...
