In this paper, we propose a new dataset for outdoor depth estimation from single and stereo RGB images. The dataset was acquired from the point of view of a pedestrian. Currently, the most novel approaches take advantage of deep learning-based techniques, which have proven to outperform traditional state-of-the-art computer vision methods. Nonetheless, these methods require large amounts of reliable ground-truth data. Despite there already existing several datasets that could be used for depth estimation, almost none of them are outdoor-oriented from an egocentric point of view. Our dataset introduces a large number of high-definition pairs of color frames and corresponding depth maps from a human perspective. In addition, the proposed dataset also features human interaction and great variability of data, as shown in this work.

The exponential growth of global poultry production highlights the critical need for efficient flock management, particularly in accurately counting chickens to optimize operations and minimize economic losses. This study advances the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in agriculture by developing and validating an AI-driven automated poultry flock management system using the YOLOv8 object detection model. The scientific objective was to address challenges such as occlusions, lighting variability, and high-density flock conditions, thereby contributing to the broader understanding of computer vision applications in agricultural environments. The practical objective was to create a scalable and reliable system for automated monitoring and decision-making, optimizing resource utilization and improving poultry management efficiency. The prototype achieved high precision (93.1%) and recall (93.0%), demonstrating its reliability across diverse conditions. Comparative analysis with prior models, including YOLOv5, highlights YOLOv8’s superior accuracy and robustness, underscoring its potential for real-world applications. This research successfully achieves its objectives by delivering a system that enhances poultry management practices and lays a strong foundation for future innovations in agricultural automation.

En los últimos años, técnicas de Inteligencia Artificial (IA) como el aprendizaje automático o Machine Learning (ML) y el Aprendizaje profundo o Deep Learning (DL), han impactado de forma positiva el avance de distintos campos del conocimiento entre ellos la educación. La educación es un importante motor de todas las sociedades, permite a los individuos ser más productivos y resolver problemas con mayor efectividad aplicando generalmente enfoques creativos. En la educación se ha utilizado las técnicas de ML antes mencionadas para distintas tareas entre ellas predicción de deserción y ayuda al rendimiento del estudiante. En este estudio analizaremos los trabajos más relevantes en estos campos, otorgando una perspectiva de cómo han influenciado los algoritmos de ML y DL en la educación.
