Abstract:
A multifunction livestock measurement system provides automatic hip location for animal height (hip height) assessment using a side-looking optical system. An automatic implementation identifies the hip through an analysis of the underside of the hindquarters of the animal. A manual version identifies the hip manually in a similar image. Automatic ear tag reading, weight measurement and animal temperature measurement can be integrated into the station.

Claim (Index 1):
A livestock measurement system comprising:\n a stall providing a platform surrounded by guide elements for positioning a standing animal on the platform at a predetermined location with respect to the platform; a light sensor for capturing an areal measurement of a hindquarters of the animal at the predetermined location on the platform, the aerial measurement being substantially within a vertical plane aligned with a superior/inferior axis  17  of the animal at the predetermined location to reveal a height from the platform of the hindquarters at multiple points displaced along the axis and at the uppermost position of the hindquarters; and an electronic computer receiving signals from the light sensor to identify, from the multiple points, a hip location and make a height measurement of the hindquarters at the hip location of the hindquarters within the areal measurement and recording the height measurement for output.
