In this embodiment, the principle of implementing individual identification of pigs by the pig herd individual identification system is as follows:
(1) the central processing system controls the opening and closing states of an outer door and an inner door of the pig growth rounding port channel, so that the pigs are only positioned in the inlet channel; specifically, the outer door is opened, the inner door is closed, so that the pigs only enter the entrance passage, and the outer door is closed after the pigs only enter the entrance passage.
(2) The central processing system controls first image acquisition equipment above the inlet channel to acquire an initial backfat image of the pig in the inlet channel and sends the acquired initial backfat image of the pig to the central processing system; the central processing system determines the position of the back fat of the pig according to the acquired initial back fat image of the pig, controls the spraying device to move to the corresponding position, and sprays corresponding characters on the back fat of the pig, wherein the characters are unique identification characters, namely the characters on each pig body are different.
(3) The central processing system controls the first image acquisition equipment to acquire the pig backfat image sprayed with the characters and sends the pig backfat image to the central processing system, and the central processing system identifies the characters in the backfat image through an image identification technology so as to determine the number of the corresponding pig individual.
(4) The initial weight of the swine only at the beginning of the feeding period is measured by a weight scale disposed below the entrance tunnel, and the measured weight information is transmitted to the central processing system.
(5) The central processing system controls the opening of an inner door of a pig growth rounding port channel, so that pigs only enter a herd pig activity area in a pig growth house; and meanwhile, the second image acquisition equipment is controlled to acquire the pig backfat image of the pig activity region in the pig growth house, the second image acquisition equipment sends the acquired pig backfat image to the central processing system, and the central processing system identifies individual identification characters on the pig backfat image based on the image identification technology to finish individual identification of the group of pigs. In this embodiment, when the pig movement area in the pig growth house is divided into a plurality of sub-areas, and the second image capturing devices are respectively disposed above the sub-areas, the central processing system may determine the movement track of the corresponding pig according to the pig backfat image obtained from each second image capturing device. For example, a group pig activity area in a pig growth house is divided into four sub-areas a1, a2, A3 and a4, second image acquisition devices a1, a2, A3 and a4 are respectively arranged on the four sub-areas, for a pig x, if a backfat image of the pig x sent by the second image acquisition devices A3, a4, a1 and a2 is sequentially received by a central processing system in a certain time period, individual identification characters on a live pig backfat image are identified based on image identification technology, the motion track of the pig x in the time period can be determined to be A3 → a4 → a1 → a2, meanwhile, in each sub-area, through continuous backfat image, individual identification characters on the live pig backfat image identification technology are identified, the continuous motion track of the pig in the sub-area can be determined, and further, continuous monitoring of the motion track and motion quantity of the pig can be realized.
(6) The body temperature of the pigs entering the trough positioning channel is measured by an infrared thermal imager arranged above each sub-area of the pig herd activity area, and the measured body temperature information is transmitted to the central processing system.
