Objective estimation of body condition score by modeling cow body shape from digital images.

Body condition score (BCS) is considered an important tool for management of dairy cattle. The feasibility of estimating the BCS from digital images has been demonstrated in recent work. Regression machines have been successfully employed for automatic BCS estimation, taking into account information of the overall shape or information extracted on anatomical points of the shape. Despite the pro...

Usually, the BCS is calculated by human experts after visual inspection in a time-consuming and subjective process. There are already some papers where this process is almost automated using image processing on some kinds of pictures and, in this work, th...

Automatic Determination of Body Condition Score of Dairy Cows from 3D Images

The increase in number, and decrease in cost for devices giving digital three-dimensional images have implied that the number of application areas where three-dimensional images can be used has increased lately. Body condition scoring (BCS), an indirect measure ranging from one to five of the level of subcutaneous fat in dairy cattle, is widely adopted for research and field assessment or for m...
