In the filing’s own words
A computer-implemented technique for monitoring animals includes processing at least one image using a trained machine learning model to determine at least one of one or more animals in the at least one image or one or more behaviors of animals in the at least one image, and transmitting a notification to at least one computing device based on the at least one of one or more animals or one or more behaviors of animals.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
