Abstract

The presently disclosed subject matter aims to a system and method for animal identification. The system and method involve the use of global and local dictionaries, such that each local dictionary is associated with a set of matrix code markers derived from a plurality of matrix code markers associated with a global dictionary. The local dictionaries may be associated with respective geographical areas, where their group of matrix code markers can be used to mark a group of animals for identification purposes. In addition, the presently disclosed subject matter aims to an animal tag including a matrix code marker placed thereon. The matrix code marker of the animal tag possesses attributes enabling it to be read at different lighting conditions.

Claims22

Dependent claims

A system for animal identification comprising a processing circuitry configured to:

provide a global dictionary including a plurality of distinct markers, each of which is composed of a plurality of cells forming a matrix code;
allocate a group of distinct markers of the plurality of distinct markers to a given local dictionary of multiple local dictionaries, such that each given local dictionary is associated with a subset of markers of the plurality of markers of the global dictionary, and at least two local dictionaries of said multiple local dictionaries include at least one common distinct marker;
obtain a reading including:
(i) a given marker, and (ii) an identifier associated with a given local dictionary of the multiple local dictionaries;
determine whether the given marker is found within the subset of markers associated with the given local dictionary of the multiple local dictionaries;
upon the given marker being within the subset of markers associated with the given local dictionary, perform a first action associated with said given local dictionary;
upon the given marker not being within the subset of markers associated with the given local dictionary, determine whether the given marker is found within the global dictionary;
upon the given marker being within the global dictionary, perform a second action.
