- Abstract
Image-based technologies are increasingly being used successfully for process monitoring, for example in the field of harvesting technology or during slaughter for assessment of foot pad dermatitis in poultry. The principle is based on the planimetric detection of areas that are set in relation to each other. In this study, this procedure was used for the detection of plumage damage in laying hens. Camera systems were used for the detection of plumage damage based on near-infrared NIR, visual VIS and ultraviolet UV technology. The ability to differentiate between intact and damaged plumage areas was examined. The best results were achieved with near-infrared-technology (600-1100 nm). The additive 3D technology enables the system to differentiate between hen and background. The system calculates the part of damaged surface. At the end of this project phase a prototype was developed, which shows promising first results regarding the detection of plumage damage in brown hens. However, in order to achieve practical maturity, further development is needed.
