Abstract: In this work, we investigated the possibilities of infrared thermography for monitoring free-range animals with a drone from different heights. We tracked how changing the distance from the object to the thermal camera affects the heat flux coming from the scene and the atmosphere. The results show some significant capabilities of infrared radiometry for monitoring free-range cattle herds from a height with an unmanned aerial vehicle.
