Many studies have purposed in order to measure live animal body characteristics using RGB-D cameras. However, most of these studies were made only for specific body measurements in interactive manner. A deviation from the expected animal body characteristics can indicate ill thrift, diseases and vitality. Currently, the farm manager can measure the body characteristics manually. Manual measuring generally requires a lot of labor, and it is, therefore, time consuming and stressful for animals. In this work we propose a non-intrusive depth camera-based system for automatic measurement of various cattle body parameters such as linear and integral characteristics along directional lines and local areas, geodesic distances, perimeters of cross sections, etc
