Abstrakt: | The present study was designed to verify the effectiveness of the image analysis method for body measurement in dromedary camel compared to manual measurements as a reference method. To achieve this aim, twenty-one linear body measurements were estimated on 59 adult Sahraoui dromedary camels (22 males and 37 females) with a normal clinical condition by using a measuring stick or vernier caliper (standard method). On the other hand, image analysis on profile, front, or behind photographs was processed using Axiovision Software. Overall mean comparison, relative error, variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and coefficient of variance showed that the image analysis method was accurate in relation to the manual measurement. Furthermore, image analysis results indicated relevant accuracy (bias correction factor, C (© 2022. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.) |
