It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the examples given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
As described in the background art, the existing feed quantity detection for the feeding container is performed based on a capacitive sensor, and is easily interfered by external signals, so that the sensor is misjudged, and the sensitivity of the individual sensors is different, so that the individual sensors need to be adjusted one by one to achieve the same detection effect, and additional artificial burden and unreliable factors are increased.
In view of the above, the application provides a method for controlling feeding of a feeding container, which is based on a visual identification technology to perform material level detection and feeding control, and helps to avoid the defects in the prior art and realize more reliable feeding control.
In one embodiment, as shown in figure 1, the method of controlling the feeding of a feeder container presented herein comprises the steps of:
step S110, collecting image data of a feeding container in real time;
for example, in the practical implementation of the scheme, a camera device may be disposed near the feeding container, and the image data may be captured in real time by the camera device disposed at a preset position near the feeding container, where it is easily understood that the preset position is specifically determined based on factors such as the type of the feeding container in the practical application scene, and site conditions.
After the image data of the feeding container is obtained, step S120 is carried out, visual identification detection is carried out according to the image data, and whether the feed in the container is insufficient or not is judged;
in the related art, the visual recognition technology is quite mature, and a related mature algorithm or solution can be used to determine whether the feed in the container is insufficient, and the related determination method will be described in the following embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.
Continuing to return to fig. 1, when the feed is judged to be insufficient through the judgment of step S120, step S130 is performed to generate and output a first trigger signal, so that the feeding device performs a feeding operation on the feeding container based on the first trigger signal.
As will be readily understood by those skilled in the art, as mentioned in the background, the existing aquaculture industry has a high automation level, and the feeding device is an existing device for feeding a feeding container (such as a stockline feeding device in a pig farm), and the first trigger signal generated in the technical solution of the present application can be used as a linkage signal to operate the feeding device, so as to realize an automatic feeding operation.
The technical scheme of this application carries out visual identification to image data and detects through the image data of gathering feeding container, judges the fodder condition in the container to according to judging the condition and generating trigger signal, so that relevant loading attachment carries out material loading control operation to the container. This kind of detection control mode, detection effect is better and comprehensive maintenance cost is lower, is favorable to realizing more reliable material loading control.
To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application will be described below with reference to another embodiment.
In this embodiment, it is also necessary to collect image data of the feeding container in real time;
specifically, the image data is captured in real time by an image pickup device disposed at a preset position near the feeding container, as shown in fig. 3, which is a schematic view illustrating a manner of disposing the image pickup device in this embodiment, in fig. 3, 1 denotes the feeding container (here, the feeding container is translucent), and 2 denotes a camera (image pickup device).
After the image data of the feeding container are obtained, visual identification detection is carried out according to the image data, and whether the feed in the container is insufficient or not is judged;
specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the image processor is an executing body of the recognition and detection process, and performs visual recognition and detection according to the image data to determine whether the feed in the container is insufficient (corresponding to the level recognition in fig. 2), and the implementation process includes:
performing segmentation processing on the image data, and extracting the image data of the outer area of the container as target image data;
and judging the gray distribution of the target image data based on a preset judgment rule to determine whether the feed in the container is insufficient.
It will be readily appreciated that, on account of the translucent nature of the feed container, there will be differences in the colour of the areas in the image on the outside of the feed container when there is no feed and when there is feed in the feed container. For example, when there is feed, the part with feed will be dark and the part without feed will be lighter (i.e. the principle of identifying the presence of feed based on the difference in color as shown in fig. 2). The judgment of whether the feed is insufficient can be realized by judging the gray distribution of the image data, for example, when the proportion of the area with the gray value larger than X in the target image is smaller than a threshold value a, the feed in the container is judged to be insufficient, and the specific numerical values of X and a which are easy to understand need to be specifically determined based on the requirements of the actual scene.
As mentioned above, in the related art, the vision recognition technology is well-developed, and for the convenience of implementation, the vision recognition detection in this embodiment can be implemented based on a third-party vision recognition technology framework, for example, the vision recognition detection can be implemented based on an OpenCV framework technology.

As a specific implementation manner, in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, when the image processor determines that the feed is insufficient, the image processor further generates the warning information, and uploads the warning information to the cloud server, and then based on a specific configuration, the cloud server can forward the warning information to the intelligent terminal of the relevant person, so as to ensure the management requirement in the actual specific scene.
Specifically, in consideration of the comprehensive implementation cost, the early warning information may be uploaded based on a wireless communication manner, for example, the 4G or wifi communication manner shown in fig. 2 may be adopted for information uploading.
In addition, in an embodiment, based on the foregoing embodiment, in the technical solution of the present application, after generating and outputting the first trigger signal, the method further includes:
visual identification detection is carried out according to the image data, and whether the feed in the container is sufficient is judged (the judgment mode is similar to the realization mode of the feed deficiency judgment, and the repeated description is omitted);
and when the fodder is sufficient, generating and outputting a second trigger signal to the feeding device.
That is, in this embodiment, the feeding operation of the feeding device may not be quantitative once or timed once, and a correlation signal is required to determine the timing at which the feeding operation is stopped, based on which the second trigger signal may be generated and output in this manner as one of the correlation signals.
The technical scheme of this application detects the interior fodder surplus condition of feeding container through the vision recognition technology to give the fodder condition in the feeding container and give the stockline replenishing device and realize the automatic start and the stop of fodder replenishment. The problem of the wrong report condition that traditional material volume detection sensor exists is solved, combines loading attachment simultaneously, has reached no longer to rely on the manual work to carry out the fodder and has supplemented, realizes the 24 hours technical effect to the incessant replenishment of fodder.

the camera equipment is arranged at a preset position near the feeding container and used for acquiring image data of the feeding container in real time;
the control processing device is configured to perform visual recognition detection according to the image data, determine whether the feed in the container is insufficient, and generate and output a first trigger signal (corresponding to the starved information in fig. 4) when the feed is determined to be insufficient.
Further, as a specific embodiment, the control processing device is further configured to,
after the first trigger signal is generated and output, visual identification detection is carried out according to the image data, whether the fodder is sufficient in the container or not is judged, and when the fodder is sufficient, a second trigger signal is generated and output to the feeding device.
