Abstract: A method, apparatus and software containing instructions for obtaining an image of an ocular feature are disclosed. The disclosed embodiments include at least the steps of defining one or more selection criteria which are related to an ocular feature of interest. The selection criteria may relate to an ocular feature type, an ocular feature location, or other relevant matters. The method further includes capturing a stream of sequential ocular images and autonomously scoring some or all ocular images according to the selection criteria. Images that score above a defined score threshold may be selected as individual images more likely to include a suitable representation of the ocular feature of interest than other individual ocular images.

Abstract: A method of processing an auditable age record for an animal. The method includes acquiring an image of select teeth of the animal and associating a date the image was acquired with the image. In addition, the method includes acquiring an image of a specific biometric characteristic of the animal and generating an identification record from the biometric characteristic. In particular, an identification record may be generated from an image of the ocular fundus of the animal. The method also includes creating an auditable age record from input which includes at least the dated image of the select teeth of the animal and the identification record.
