Description

Wild animal detection and species identification system and method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of long-term monitoring of wild animal diversity, and particularly relates to a wild animal detection and species identification system and method.
Background
Long-term monitoring of wild animal diversity is a key link in wild animal management, protection, research and resource utilization. At present, methods for monitoring wild animals mainly comprise a sample line method, a trap method and an infrared camera shooting method.
The traditional manual data acquisition means such as a sampling line method, a trap method and the like provide detailed and reliable data support for wild animal monitoring and related research in China, but the methods have the defects that continuous monitoring cannot be realized and a large amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources are required to be invested.
With the development of scientific technology, the infrared camera technology has been more and more widely applied in the works of wild animal population monitoring, diversity investigation, population density assessment and the like due to the characteristics of unattended operation, small interference to animals, less human factor limitation, high accuracy, continuous monitoring and the like. However, since the small vertebrates (especially the temperature-variable animals which cannot trigger the infrared camera, such as frogs and reptiles) cannot directly trigger the infrared camera to take a picture, the monitoring of the small vertebrates still highly depends on the traditional manual methods such as the line sampling method and the trap method, but the traditional manual methods such as the line sampling method and the trap method still depend on manual work for species identification of the small vertebrates, and automatic species identification is difficult to realize.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention mainly aims to provide a wild animal detection and species identification system and a method, so as to solve the technical problems of low accuracy and high cost of wild animal monitoring in the prior art.

the shooting unit is used for shooting the ground where the pressure detection assembly is located and outputting a picture after receiving the trigger signal;
a data processing unit that processes the photographs and outputs at least a corresponding animal category.
When the wild animal crawls, jumps, walks or runs on the pressure detection assembly, the pressure detection assembly receives the pressure action of the wild animal so as to generate a corresponding signal. Obviously, compared with the line sampling method and the trap method in the prior art, the wild animal detection and species identification system has the advantages of simple structure, high sensitivity, continuous monitoring and low cost when in use, can effectively monitor small vertebrate wild animals (particularly variable-temperature animals which can not trigger an infrared camera, such as frogs and crawlers) for a long time, and is expected to make outstanding contribution to wild animal management, protection, research and resource utilization.
Further, the pressure detection assembly includes a pressure sensor that outputs a pressure signal when the animal applies pressure thereto; the first data acquisition unit further comprises a pressure signal processing assembly, and the pressure signal processing assembly processes the pressure signal and outputs the trigger signal. Therefore, the trigger signal can be rapidly output when an animal appears, so that the shooting unit is rapidly triggered to operate, and wild animals are prevented from leaving the imaging range before shooting.
Further, the pressure sensor comprises a flexible pressure sensor. The flexible pressure sensor is in a sheet shape, has the advantages of a common pressure sensor, can be bent, can be laid on a complex terrain, and has the advantages of large test area and high sensitivity. The flexible pressure sensor is a piezoresistive pressure sensor, a capacitance pressure sensor, a piezoelectric pressure sensor or other types of pressure sensors.
Further, the pressure sensor comprises a flexible array of pressure sensors. The flexible pressure sensor array is formed by arranging a plurality of flexible pressure sensors with the same or different sizes, so that the shapes of the flexible pressure sensors can be selected according to different landforms, and the flexible pressure sensor array has higher practicability.
Further, the shooting unit comprises a camera arranged on the side and/or the upper part of the pressure detection component. At least two cameras are preferably arranged on the sides of the pressure detection assembly, thereby significantly improving the effectiveness of the photograph.
The animal monitoring system further comprises a second data acquisition unit, wherein the second data acquisition unit comprises a sound detection component, and the sound detection component receives the sound of the animal and outputs a sound signal; the data processing unit processes the photo and sound signals and outputs whether the photo and sound signals are animals and animal types. Therefore, the accuracy of the processing result can be improved by simultaneously processing the photo and the sound signal. Besides outputting whether the animal is the animal or not and the animal type, other parameters such as shooting time, longitude and latitude, atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity, occurrence frequency of the same species and the like can also be output.
Further, the system also comprises an alarm unit, and when the data processing unit outputs a non-animal signal, the alarm unit gives an alarm. Therefore, when the first data acquisition unit fails and the like influence the accuracy of the result, the staff can be reminded to process the data in time.
Further, the device also comprises a storage unit, and the storage unit stores the processing result of the data processing unit.
Further, the device also comprises a display unit, and the display unit at least displays the processing result of the data processing unit.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention further provides a method for detecting wild animals and identifying species. The wild animal detection and species identification method adopts the animal detection and species identification system.
In summary, the wild animal detection and species identification system and method of the invention have simple structure, when used for wild animal monitoring, the system can not only detect large wild animals, but also can perform real-time monitoring and automatic identification on small vertebrate wild animals (especially variable-temperature animals which can not trigger an infrared camera, such as frogs and reptiles), can be used for wild animal population monitoring, diversity investigation, population density assessment and other work, has the advantages of high sensitivity, continuous monitoring and low cost, and can be expected to make outstanding contribution to the management, protection, research and resource utilization of wild animals in China.
