Reviewer 1 Report
Authors should mention why they chose YOLO as their deep learning model out of other models.
The references 15 and 16 are not very relevant to this study. Authors could have cited other papers to define AUC.
Authors should use subscripts and same letter case when using the terms in the text after and before equations such as Br, Bp ..
Authors should discuss their strategy in hyper parameter tuning. Also how did they make sure their model is well fitted (not over fitted or under fitted).
Some paragraphs are really short consisting of a sentence or two (page 3 for example). I suggest rewriting them so a paragraph can have at least 3 sentences.

Reviewer 2 Report
- The relevance of the study should be improved. Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Introduction should be reversed. Also, the paragraph (lines 206-209) can be attributed to the Introduction.
- In addition to the description of the image capture system (lines 94-95), you can present a photo of it in Fig. 1.
- What is the spectral range of thermal imaging images? Is spectrum optimization possible?
- The paragraph (lines 206-209) can be moved to the Introduction.
- Lines 231-235 duplicate the information in lines 50-56.
- The phrase in the Conclusions " This system provides a rapid and convenient measurement solution for ranch managers." needs a more serious justification and continuation/specification.
