System and method for monitoring growth parameters of piglets in nursery box

Abstract

A system for monitoring growth parameters of piglets in a nursery box is characterized by comprising an image sensor node, a gateway, and a control center server. The image sensor node comprises an image ARM (advanced RISC machines) module, an image ZigBee module, an image power module, a weighing sensor, a signal conversion circuit, and an image acquisition module. The weighing sensor is connected with the image ARM module through the signal conversion circuit. The image ZigBee module is bidirectionally connected with the image ARM module through the signal conversion circuit. The image ZigBee module is bidirectionally connected with the image ARM module. The image acquisition module is bidirectionally connected with the image ARM module. The weighing sensor, the signal conversion circuit, the image ARM module and the image acquisition module are respectively connected with the image power module. The image ARM module is wirelessly connected with the gateway through the image ZigBee module. The gateway is wirelessly connected with the control center server. The system is capable of monitoring growth parameters of piglets in the nursery box continuously, losslessly and automatically, the piglets are less irritable, and chances for piglets to survive and gain weight are higher.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a growth parameter monitoring system for piglets in an incubator, in particular to a growth parameter monitoring system for piglets in an incubator based on a wireless multimedia sensor network. [0002] The invention also relates to a monitoring method based on an incubator piglet growth parameter monitoring system, including piglet image and weighing information collection, piglet incubator environmental parameter collection, gateway data conversion and piglet incubator environmental parameter control. Background technique [0003] China is the world's largest pig-raising country. The pig industry accounts for a large proportion of the total animal husbandry economy and has become a pillar industry of agriculture and rural economy. However, the high mortality rate of suckling piglets is also a problem faced by my country's pig industry. The mortality rate of suckling piglets generally accounts for 10% to 15% of the number of ...
