Description

Vehicle-mounted type sailing animal observation device

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the field of ecological environment field observation, in particular to a vehicle-mounted sailing animal observation device.

Background

With the development of society, the range of human activities is continuously expanded, and great pressure is brought to the living environment of wild animals. In order to better protect wild animals, their state of survival and activity habits must be well understood. The information such as population number, activity range and behavior habit of the wild animals is comprehensively and carefully observed, and the artificial observation is not enough. Therefore, various automatic monitoring devices and means are adopted to acquire the activity data of the wild animals, and the method has great significance for protecting the wild animals.

Currently, there are three main ways of observing animals in common use. The first is traditional ground artificial observation, and species composition, structure, function and key species and endangered species in the sample plot are studied by observing birds, butterflies, amphibians, mammals and other animals in the sample plot by manually and periodically utilizing a sampling line method or a sampling method. The method mainly relies on manpower, and is time-consuming, labor-consuming, large in workload, small in observation scale, low in observation frequency, large in error and difficult to provide continuous animal diversity information in a long time sequence. The second method is to use the hardware devices such as the image acquisition device and the animal sound observation system (the sound system) to observe the species, abundance, distribution, behavior rules and the like of the observation area for long-term continuous fixed point observation. The method can continuously and automatically collect species data for a long time at fixed points and perform functions such as species identification, but can only observe a single point observation place, and related equipment is required to be rearranged if other observation places are required to be observed. Thirdly, the remote sensing technology is used for large-scale, long-time, full-coverage and high-resolution animal diversity observation, and a direct method or an indirect method is generally adopted for monitoring the biological diversity, wherein the direct method is used for directly identifying species or community types and distribution and multiple degrees of species or community types, and the methods have quite high requirements on the spatial resolution and the spectral resolution of remote sensing data. The indirect method is to derive some indexes or variables through remote sensing data, and then combine with field observation data to construct a model to predict the biodiversity, and the application in animal diversity is mainly concentrated on birds and large mammals at present. However, due to animal mobility and concealment characteristics, remote sensing is difficult to directly study the diversity of animal species.

The Chinese patent application, application number CN202110521754.1, publication day 2021, 8 and 24, discloses a mobile observation system and method for animal experiments based on a mobile platform, and relates to the technical field of experimental instruments, wherein the method comprises the following steps: animal information acquisition, environment information acquisition, feedback stimulation, information processing, platform movement driving and processing equipment modules, wherein the feedback stimulation module performs stimulation operation on an experimental object; the information acquisition module acquires motion state information and stimulus feedback information of an experimental object, and motion state information and environment information of a mobile platform; the platform movement driving module controls the movement state of the mobile platform to be synchronous with the movement state of the experimental object according to the movement state information of the experimental object, the movement state information of the mobile platform and the environmental information; the processing device module stores and analyzes the stimulus feedback information and monitors the experimental object. However, the scheme is mainly aimed at experimental observation of a small number of animal individuals, the intelligent and informationized level of a mobile platform is not high, the equipment structure is simple, the design aiming at field application is lacking, and the method is not suitable for monitoring of a wide range and rich information of field animal populations.
