摘要:
The invention provides, in one aspect, a computerized method for estimating a weight of an animal. The method includes acquiring an image (111) of an animal (50) and comparing, by at least one computing device (185), the image to a plurality of models (192) to determine a selected one of the plurality of models that optimally matches a size or shape of the animal, wherein each of the plurality of models has a known weight. The method further includes adjusting, by the at least one computing device, either (i) the image relative to the selected model or (ii) the selected model relative to the image. One or more differential adjustment parameters (R1) are determined, by the at least one computing device, based upon the adjustment of the image or model; and a weight of the animal is determined, by the at least one computing device, by adjusting the known weight of the selected model based upon the one or more differential adjustment parameters.
