Design and Implementation of Android-based Livestock Disease Forecasting System using Thermal Image

In recent, domestic livestock farms are receiving enormous damages through various livestock diseases that are highly contagious such as foot-and-mouth disease and avian influenza (AI). Additionally, they are experiencing difficulties also financially as a result of decrease in income from production cost increase. This paper will propose a livestock disease forecasting system for diagnosing in advance livestock disease status in real-time through image information of livestock by using thermal image camera. The proposed system can extract livestock temperature information through images collected from thermal image camera to diagnose in advance livestock disease status through Androidbased smart phone. Based on this, it is expected to contribute to the enhancement of the productivity of livestock farms and their competitiveness by minimizing damages from livestock disease by preventing disease damages in advance.
