Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable storage media, for automated camera positioning for feeding behavior monitoring. In some implementations, a system obtains an image of a scene from one or more cameras and a spatial model that corresponds to a subfeeder. The system determines, based on data from the spatial model and the image of the scene, a current position of the one or more cameras relative to the subfeeder. The system selects an updated position of the one or more cameras relative to the subfeeder. The system moves the one or more cameras to the updated position. In some implementations, the system dynamically selects the updated position of the one or more cameras relative to the subfeeder.
