Abstract
A weight estimation method for estimating a weight of a cow includes: (a) imaging the cow from directly above to acquire a depth image; (b) estimating an orientation of the cow in the depth image; (c) rotating the depth image in a way that the orientation of the cow is a predetermined orientation; (d) matching a size of the depth image after the rotation to a predetermined reference size, and outputting a reference size image; and (e) inputting the reference size image to a regression model to acquire an estimated weight of the cow output by the regression model.
Claims9
A weight estimation method for estimating a weight of a cow, the method comprising:
- (a) imaging the cow from directly above to acquire a depth image;
- (b) estimating an orientation of the cow in the depth image;
- (c) rotating the depth image in a way that the orientation of the cow is a predetermined orientation;
- (d) matching a size of the depth image after the rotation to a predetermined reference size, and outputting a reference size image;
- and
- (e) inputting the reference size image to a regression model to acquire an estimated weight of the cow output by the regression model.
A program that causes a computer to realize:
- (a) imaging a cow from directly above to acquire a depth image;
- (b) estimating an orientation of the cow in the depth image;
- (c) rotating the depth image in a way that the orientation of the cow is a predetermined orientation;
- (d) matching a size of the depth image after the rotation to a predetermined reference size, and outputting a reference size image;
- and
- (e) inputting the reference size image to a regression model to acquire an estimated weight of the cow output by the regression model.
