Introduction

FirstBreath Vision is the eyes of the platform. It is a distributed, AI-powered system designed to monitor horses in real-time using computer vision.

Unlike traditional surveillance systems that just record video, FirstBreath Vision understands what it sees. It transforms raw video streams into actionable insights about animal welfare.

Audience: ML/DevOps, integrators.

🎯 Core Mission​

The system answers critical questions:

  • Is the horse standing or lying down?
  • Is the horse agitated or calm?
  • Is the horse in distress (cast, colic)?

🌟 Key Capabilities​

  1. Real-Time Detection: Processing frames in milliseconds using YOLOv11.
  2. Scalable Architecture: Can handle dozens of cameras on a single GPU node.
  3. Hardware Agnostic: Runs on Consumer GPUs (RTX 3060+) or Server Data Centers (A100).
  4. Privacy First: No video is stored permanently; only metadata and metrics are retained.

🧩 The Big Picture​

The Vision system sits between the Physical World (Cameras) and the User Application (Web Dashboard).
