Abstract
In this paper, we present a method of using a thermal imaging camera to measure the external temperature of a calf. We select the eye as the best spot that can be used to assess an animal’s internal temperature. We also show a method of dealing with the nonstationarity of a low-cost thermal imaging camera.
