AI-enhanced infrared thermography for reliable detection and spatial mapping of temperature patterns in calf eyes and muzzles by Sueun Kim, Norio Yamagishi, Shingo Ishikawa, Shinobu Tsuchiaka

“…Furthermore, the interpretability of eye and muzzle temperature measurements can vary depending on which subregions are analyzed, as areas with richer vascularization tend to display more representative temperature characteristics. To address these issues, the present study applied AI-based segmentation to infrared thermography and focused on the analysis of high-temperature, vascularized subregions within the eyes and muzzles of calves. …”
