System And Method For Imaging And Processing Animal Data
Patent No. EP3370512 (titled "System And Method For Imaging And Processing Animal Data") was filed by Delaval Holding on Nov 3, 2016. The application was issued on Oct 21, 2020.
Patent Summary
A data processing system associates animal image data ($D_{img}$) of specific body portions with identity data ($D_{ID}$) from a data carrier. The system comprises a camera, a reader unit, and a data processor. A passageway restricts the camera's view field to a single animal at a time, covering a specific identification zone (Z). The processor detects an animal in the view field via $D_{img}$ and generates a trigger signal (TS) to activate the reader unit if and only if the animal is within zone Z. The reader remains active for a given interval, ending upon $D_{ID}$ registration, expiration of a set time, or the animal exiting zone Z.
