Abstract

Black cattle body shape and temperature measurement system is introduced. It is important to evaluate the quality of Japanese black cattle periodically during their growth process. Not only the weight and size of cattle, but also the posture, shape, and temperature need to be tracked as primary evaluation criteria. In the present study, KINECT sensor and thermal camera obtains the body shape and its temperature. The whole system is calibrated to operate in a common coordinate system. Point cloud data are obtained from different angles and reconstructed in a computer. The thermal data are captured too. Both point cloud data and thermal information are combined by considering the orientation of the cow. The collected information is used to evaluate and estimate cattle conditions.
