LGA-Net: A Local–Global Aggregation Network for Point Cloud Segmentation of Sheep in Smart Livestock Farming

Point cloud semantic segmentation is a pivotal technology for realizing non-contact body measurement and refined management of livestock. However, processing sheep point clouds in smart livestock scenarios presents specific challenges, primarily due to non-rigid posture deformations and severe background interference. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel symmetric encoder–decoder architecture named Local–Global Aggregation Network (LGA-Net), which achieves high-precision parsing
