Abstract

A system (100) for calculating one or more dimensions of an animal. The system (100) comprises at least three fiducial reference points (122, 124 and 126), each having different X, Y, and Z coordinates in 3-dimensional space. In addition, the system (100) further comprises at least two sensors (104 and 106) for obtaining dimensional measurements of the fiducial reference points (122, 124 and 126) and the animal from at least two different fields of view. In one embodiment, the at least two different fields of view are at least a side view and a top view. The system (100) also comprises a processing system (108) configured to receive the dimensional measurements from the at least two sensors (104 and 106) and calculate one or more dimensions of the animal by relating positions of animal features to known locations of the fiducial reference points. The system (100) also may create and measure a 3-dimensional image of the animal.
