Behavior analysis of a small animal using IoT sensor system

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to monitor and analyze the behavior of small animals, which has been still poorly by many research. By using IoT sensors and a monitoring camera, the user can observe the behavior of small animals. The system can inform the user of IoT sensor events through Twitter and e-mail service. Also, their states are recorded on a Google spreadsheet. Then, we can analyze the behavior based on the records. The experiments were conducted to verify validity of the system with a djungarian hamster. The experimental results revealed that the behavior of small animals were changed depending on environment around them. By using the Bayesian network, the environment and time period were successfully estimated only based on the IoT sensor data.
