Automatic weight estimation of individual pigs using image analysis
Pigs are localized in a pen using ellipse fitting modelling. We mark fattening pigs with basic patterns to differentiate them. Algorithms are presented to measure top-view body area of pigs within a pen. We introduce an elegant way to estimate individual pig weight in a farm pen. Pig growth and weight variation can be estimated using the introduced method.
