KR20190075253A - Livestock Disease Detection System Using Thermographic Images - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system which uses images of a thermal imaging camera to detect livestock diseases. A thermal imaging camera is installed in a cattle shed, and an internal environment information value and a temperature value extracted from a thermal image are compared to notify a farm owner if a difference from a temperature reference value or an existing pattern occurs to take measures against diseases of livestock in an early stage and obtain a CCTV monitoring effect in the cattle shed.

Description

[0002] Livestock Disease Detection System Using Thermographic Images [

The present invention relates to a livestock disease detection system using a thermal imaging camera, and more particularly, to a livestock disease detection system using a thermal imaging camera, in which a temperature of a livestock is checked using a thermal image, Sensing system.

In existing houses, contact sensors are installed for each livestock in order to detect disease.

In this conventional sensing method, the catheter may be stressed by the contact type sensor, and the cattle may bite the sensor or be damaged by being hit against the wall.

In addition, there is a problem that the sensor is attached separately due to the variation of the livestock, and an error occurs, which is costly to replace.

In order to solve the above problems, we invented a livestock disease detection system using thermographic images to measure the temperature with a non-contact infrared camera and to serve as a monitoring CCTV.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a non-contact thermal imaging camera which measures the temperature of a domestic animal, To inform the farmer of the occurrence of the disease, so that the first action can be taken from the animal disease.

In addition, CCTV function as a function of the thermal camera to add surveillance function to prevent damage to the outside as an unwelcome person or animal.

In order to achieve the above object, a livestock disease prediction system utilizing the thermal imaging camera image, which is dealt with in the present invention, includes a sensor manager for managing internal environment information, an image manager for managing image information for receiving information from a thermal imaging camera, It collects all the information from the facility manager that is controlled and managed, and informs the farmer about the information value by comparing and analyzing the database server and the app server. As an analytical method, it compares the internal environmental information value and the reference information to be measured to the temperature of the livestock, and informs the farmer that there is a problem with the livestock if there is a lot of error, so that the initial action can be performed. It also plays an important role in informing the public when the uninhabited people and animals appear or appear.

According to the livestock disease detection system utilizing the thermal image of the present invention, the temperature of the livestock is checked using a non-contact thermal imaging camera suitable for the stress or welfare of the livestock, compared with other environmental information values, And analysis can tell you about the likelihood or risk of livestock getting sick. In addition, due to the nature of the barn located in a special location, there is a lot of damage to the barn and the uninvited guests and animals come in and they can play the role of cctv for surveillance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a detailed description of preferred embodiments of the present invention will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing all the systems managed by the housing of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a process showing a system according to the present invention. First, the environment information value

System configuration diagram

Referring to FIG. 1, the overall configuration of the inventive system is represented. From the sensor unit 200, the internal environment information is measured by receiving the temperature 201, the humidity 202 and the illuminance 203, and the observation unit 300 includes the CCTV 301 and the thermal imager 302 . The sensor manager 110 and the image manager 111 for managing environmental information and images for the above collect information, store and classify the information, and analyze and store the information for the disease detection in the database server 101 and the analysis server 102 . If the appropriate temperature for growing the cattle is changed or there is an error, the facility manager 112 transmits a result of the above information and controls the control unit 400 to be controlled. The portion to be controlled is controlled by the illuminance 401 according to the irradiation amount, the ventilation 402 for the air circulation and the temperature control, and the heating 403 for the cold weather.

The user 10 can access the user terminal 20 or the user terminal 20 through the LoRa, lteM, and WiFi, which are performed in the integrated server 100 for collecting, controlling, analyzing, And can be confirmed through the Web (30). The user 10 who has been confirmed proceeds to the initial action and inputs the result information to the database server 101 via the integration server 100 and is managed.

All the services are moved by focusing on the thermal imager 302. As a specific analysis method, a temperature is measured in a thermal image and compared with a basic reference value temperature or a specific disease temperature that a livestock should have. Because of the non-contact method, there is no risk of loss or loss of sensor, and measurement is possible without stress on livestock.

In addition to the above system, another object of the present invention is to monitor livestock from outside uninitiated persons or outside animals by measuring temperature through a thermal camera for a time (evening, weather, foreign substance) can do.

System Process

The process for the livestock disease detection system utilizing the thermal imaging camera according to the embodiment of the present invention having the above structure will be described step by step with reference to FIG.

The thermal image data and environmental data collection (S10) collects all the information measured by the sensor unit 200 and the observation unit 300.

The step of transmitting the collected data to the database server (S20) is a step performed by the database server (101) of the integration server (100) for storing, analyzing and classifying the measured information data.

The comparative analysis (S30) of the set data at the server and the comparison step (S40) therefor are the steps in which the analysis server 102 of the integration server 100 classifies and analyzes the data.

If the disease occurrence is not detected, the algorithm proceeds from the beginning without generating the disease (S50). If the disease is detected (S60), it informs the user of the data information.
