The traditional static weighing methods require considerable human and financial resources, and the existing dynamic weighing algorithms do not consider the influence of the cow motion state on the weight curve. In this paper, a dynamic weighing algorithm for cows based on a support vector machine (SVM) and empirical wavelet transform (EWT) is proposed for classification and analysis. First, the dynamic weight curve is obtained by using a weighing device placed along a cow travel corridor. Next, the data are preprocessed through valid signal acquisition, feature extraction, and normalization, and the results are divided into three active degrees during motion for low, medium, and high grade using the SVM algorithm. Finally, a mean filtering algorithm, the EWT algorithm, and a combined periodic continuation-EWT algorithm are used to obtain the dynamic weight values. Weight data were collected for 910 cows, and the experimental results displayed a classification accuracy of 98.6928%. The three algorithms were used to calculate the dynamic weight values for comparison with real values, and the average error rates were 0.1838%, 0.6724%, and 0.9462%. This method can be widely used at farms and expand the current knowledgebase regarding the dynamic weighing of cows.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20185363","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,18]],"date-time":"2020-09-18T14:22:23Z","timestamp":1600438943000},"page":"5363","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Research on a Dynamic Algorithm for Cow Weighing Based on an SVM and Empirical Wavelet Transform"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Ningning","family":"Feng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Modern Precision Agriculture System Integration Research, Ministry of Education, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Information Acquisition Technology, Ministry of Agriculture, and Rural Affairs, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"given":"Xi","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Modern Precision Agriculture System Integration Research, Ministry of Education, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Information Acquisition Technology, Ministry of Agriculture, and Rural Affairs, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"given":"Haoyuan","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Electrical Engineering, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"given":"Gang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Modern Precision Agriculture System Integration Research, Ministry of Education, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Information Acquisition Technology, Ministry of Agriculture, and Rural Affairs, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"given":"Yan\u2019e","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Information Acquisition Technology, Ministry of Agriculture, and Rural Affairs, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"given":"Shuli","family":"Mei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Electrical Engineering, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100083, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.2527\/jas.2015-9484","article-title":"Heterosis and direct effects for Charolais-sired calf weight and growth, cow weight and weight change, and ratios of cow and calf weights and weight changes across warm season lactation in Romosinuano, Angus, and F1 cows in Arkansas1","volume":"94","author":"Riley","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
