Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and the descriptions are intended to be illustrative, and not limiting.
Current pig farms are generally divided into a plurality of pigsty. The arrangement of the plurality of pigsties is beneficial to preventing the diffusion of pig diseases and the separate breeding of different pigs, for example, weak pigs and strong pigs are separated, rabdosia between the pigs is avoided, and the method has important significance for breeding. All be provided with the trough in the swinery, every pig only has sufficient position of eating in the swinery can be guaranteed in the setting of the trough of every swinery.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic block diagram of a swine population monitoring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the image acquiring apparatus 10 acquires an image of the trough of each pigsty, i.e., an image of the trough. The image acquisition means 10 may comprise cameras arranged at each pig house or may be remotely connected to these cameras so as to acquire images from these cameras. According to one embodiment, images of the trough are obtained from the cameras at the same time. The time is the feeding time of the pig. The number of pigs recognizing device 20 determines the number of pigs fed in each pigsty based on the images of the trough of each pigsty. The alarm device 30 gives an alarm when the change in the number of pigs in a certain pigsty exceeds a predetermined amount or the change in the sum of the numbers of pigs in each pigsty exceeds a predetermined amount, based on the number of pigs fed in each pigsty obtained by the pig number recognition device 20. The predetermined amount may be a percentage or an absolute number (positive integer).
Fig. 2 shows a schematic block diagram of a swine count monitoring apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 2, the pig quantity monitoring apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention further includes a camera control device 40 for controlling the on/off of the camera. For controlling the operation of a camera comprised by or connected to said image acquisition means, said camera being controlled to operate during feeding of the pig. According to one embodiment, the pigsty is provided with a feeding area, wherein the trough is located in the feeding area. A weight sensor is arranged in the food feeding area or the food groove, and the camera control device starts the camera when the weight measured by the weight sensor is larger than a preset value according to the data measured by the weight sensor.
According to the embodiment, when the weight measured by the weight sensor is larger than the preset value, the pig is put into the feeding trough, or the pig enters the feeding area, so that the feeding time of the pig can be accurately known, and the false alarm caused by the change of the feeding time can be avoided.
The weight sensor is arranged in the pigsty feeding area, weight data can be used for detecting feeding time, and scientification of pig raising is facilitated.
According to one embodiment, the pigsty transfer time, i.e. the time it takes for a pig in one pigsty to be transferred to another pigsty, is determined according to the distance between the two pigsties. The alarm device 30 gives an alarm when the difference between the opening times of the cameras of the two swineries is greater than the swinery transfer time between the two swineries by a predetermined value.
According to one embodiment, the camera control means 40 controls each camera to take a plurality of images at predetermined time intervals, respectively. The pig number recognition device 20 uses the number of pigs recognized as the largest among the images captured by the cameras as the number of pigs fed in the pigsty to which the camera belongs.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic block diagram of a swine count monitoring apparatus according to yet another embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3, the swine quantity monitoring apparatus according to still another embodiment of the present invention further includes a storage device 50 for storing the images at the trough previously obtained by the image obtaining device 10. The alarm device 30 compares the image currently obtained by the image obtaining device 10 with the stored image in the storage device 50, and gives an alarm when the images are the same.
According to this embodiment it can be avoided that the remote camera always provides the same image, so that no real knowledge of the actual situation is possible.
According to one embodiment, the camera control means 40 controls each camera to take a plurality of images at predetermined time intervals, respectively. The pig number recognition device 20 uses the number of pigs recognized as the largest among the images captured by the cameras as the number of pigs fed in the pigsty to which the camera belongs. The camera control device 40 controls each camera to deflect a random angle in the middle of taking a plurality of images at predetermined time intervals respectively and obtains an image, namely a random image, the alarm device 30 compares the current trough image and the random image obtained by the image obtaining device with the trough image and the random image stored in the storage device 50, and when the images are found to be the same, an alarm is given. By utilizing the implementation mode, the false reporting of the investors by the actual operators in the pig farm can be effectively avoided.
Fig. 4 shows a schematic block diagram of a swine count monitoring apparatus according to yet another embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 4, the swine count monitoring apparatus according to this embodiment includes a special mark recognition apparatus 60.
According to one embodiment, each of said swineries or troughs has a unique special mark, e.g. a swinery number, different swineries having different swinery numbers.
The camera control device 40 controls each camera to shoot an image including the special mark according to a specified direction when shooting the image at the crib, the image acquisition device 10 obtains the image including the special mark, and the special mark recognition device 60 recognizes the image including the special mark and recognizes the special mark included in the image. At present, the technologies such as license plate recognition are mature, and the related technologies can be used for recognizing the special marks in the application. The special mark may be given a specific color or font, etc. to improve the accuracy of the recognition. In general, the identification of the particular token may be performed in a variety of ways that are currently known or that later become known.
The warning device 30 gives a warning when the unique specific mark is not recognized by the specific mark recognition device 60, or when the recognized unique specific mark does not match a specific mark corresponding to a camera that captures an image including the specific mark, or when the specific marks recognized in images including the specific marks captured by different cameras are the same.
Remote image falsification can be very well avoided according to this embodiment.
The swine disease early warning system of the present invention may be implemented by a computer including a storage device and a computing device (CPU, etc.). The computer has stored in its memory computer software which, when executed (including when compiled) causes the computer to implement the apparatus and method of the present invention.
An aspect of the invention also includes the computer software.
