Verfahren zur Schätzung einer Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Auftretens eines bestimmten zukünftigen Verlaufs einer aus Messdaten thermographischer Messungen an mindestens einem Tier abgeleiteten Funktion sowie Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens
The invention relates to a method and a device for estimating a probability of an occurrence of a defined future profile of a function (8) derived from measurement data (7) of animals (6), in which thermographic measurements are carried out on at least one animal (6) in order to collect the measurement data (7) from which a previous profile of the derived function (8) is formed, and the probability of the occurrence of the defined future time profile of the derived function (8) is estimated by comparing the measurement data (7) with a probability distribution that is derived from a number of selected data records of a database (4).
