Abstract

High cost and low efficiency hinder the development of dairy industry. Image information technology can objectively and availably evaluate the requirement of dairy nutrition and the level of health, reduces animal stress and improves the intelligent management in farms. This review described the image-forming principle of the visible light camera, thermal imager camera and depth sensor camera with evaluation of method and efficiency in dairy cow production, and summarized the researches in the application of image vision system in body weight measurement, body condition scoring, body temperature monitoring, gait scoring, feed intake measurement and lying behavior monitoring, and so on. The performance of developed systems was reviewed in terms of sensitivity, accuracy and error rate. The technology can support daily observation for administrator on herds, which can be used as an important step towards the development of an automated system.
