Description

{Grassland management system using drone}, a non -

The present invention can easily grasp and manage the growth state of grass, which is used for raising livestock such as sheep, by using a unmanned air vehicle such as a drone, and can grasp the distribution state and disease state of livestock, And ICT, to enable the grazing type habitat ecological livestock production, and to a grazing type horticultural farm management and management system using the unmanned aerial vehicle in the mountain habitat.

Techniques have been developed to minimize the use of manpower in order to reduce production costs in raising livestock such as horses, sheep, cattle, and pigs.

As a related art, "Remote Rearing Method Through the Internet" (Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0357250, Patent Document 1), a camera is installed on a farm, a valve for supplying water, food, and medicine is installed, To supply water, food, and medicine to livestock remotely.

The above-described Patent Document 1 has a merit that a camera, a sensor or the like is installed inside a barn to grasp the state of being at a remote place by using Internet communication, and supplies feed, water, and medicine at a remote place, .

However, recently, many cattle raised in a narrow space such as a barn has been suffering from diseases such as mad cow disease, foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza, and the fact that feeds containing antibiotics are supplied, As a result, the preference for livestock breeding is gradually increasing compared to breeding livestock.

In addition to the difficulty in grasping the position of livestock, difficulties in grasping and managing water supply facilities, and rising production costs due to increased use of manpower to manage the livestock, , It is difficult to cope with rapid changes in natural environment such as abnormal high temperature, low temperature, rainfall, snowfall, etc. Therefore, economical efficiency is low and manpower is required.

In an effort to improve such grazing breeding, "Ubiquitous-based grazing system" (Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1219178, Patent Document 2) discloses a technology for remotely controlling and managing livestock and ranch dogs have.

The above-mentioned Patent Document 2 facilitates the management of grazing livestock by attaching a dispatcher to the livestock, attaching a terminal for receiving video and sound signals to the ranch dog to monitor them, and receiving a command.

The system as in Patent Document 2 can manage the state of the livestock with the image through the ranch dog, but the image condition is poor due to the vibration due to the movement of the ranch dog, so that it is hard to understand it.

In addition, there is a problem that the distribution of the whole livestock can not be accurately grasped even when the grazing livestock is located outside the range where the ranch shoulder can be observed.

In addition, the image of the ranch can not grasp the state of the grazing pasture and can not control facilities such as the water tank remotely.

In particular, it is very important to grasp and manage the state of grass because it is a food supply source for livestock in grazing, but it is difficult to grasp the growth state of whole grass by the same method as in Patent Document 2, It becomes difficult.

In the technology related to grasping the state of the grassland, the "image mounting field survey system and method thereof" (Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0814720, Patent Document 3) related to the management of the forest, To make forest management easier by making field surveys using images and comparing the results with those of existing forests.

However, since grazing grass is generally removed with trees, it is impossible to grasp the state of grass by using only the snow.

In addition, in the case of grassland grazing livestock, the state of the grassland continuously changes as the livestock migrate while eating the grass. Especially, if the livestock graze the grass intensively in only one region, then the grassland will not grow Therefore, the degree and direction of the change must be grasped close to real-time, and it is difficult to apply a technique of producing a clinical image using known images.

On the other hand, unmanned aerial vehicles which have conventionally been used for military reconnaissance have been used for various purposes.

For example, a control system of an unmanned aerial vehicle is disclosed in the "unmanned aerial vehicle control system and method" (Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1286376, Patent Document 4).

Patent Document 4 discloses that a plurality of users can independently control the control device and the photographing device constituting the unmanned aerial vehicle, respectively.

Although control technology of unmanned aerial vehicle has recently been developed as shown in Patent Document 4, there have been no cases developed for the purpose of managing grazing grasses.

It is difficult to grasp the position and state of livestock in grazing pasture and it is difficult to grasp the growth environment of grassland efficiently and it is difficult to efficiently manage the grazing pasture and it is difficult to grasp facility management such as water supply equipment. It is not only inefficient but also difficult to manage due to environmental factors such as temperature or weather environment.

In particular, it is also very important to prevent cattle from escaping from the outside or from entering the cattle from outside while maintaining the pasture by grazing.

In addition, it is also necessary to prevent the phenomenon that the livestock of each herd are mixed with each other when breeding the grass by dividing the livestock according to the type of the livestock by punching the grassland in various communities or by classifying the livestock according to the growth condition.

Also, it is necessary to prevent the phenomenon that the facilities are damaged due to aging or natural disasters in the state where the livestock protection facility is installed, and the damage of the livestock such as sheep by receiving the facilities such as the pans.

For this, it is also good to monitor the pans installed in the grassland.
