Animal activity tracking system based on infrared thermal imaging

Abstract

The invention presents an animal activity tracking system based on infrared thermal imaging, which comprises a main control system, an infrared thermal imaging module, an animal activity identification module, a holder control module, a data storage module and a wireless communication module. The main control system is in communication connection with the infrared thermal imaging module, the animal activity identification module and the holder control module through the wireless communication module, and is in data connection with the data storage module. The infrared thermal imaging module takes infrared thermal images of a monitoring area at a certain sampling frequency, and transmits the images to the animal activity identification module through the main control system. The animal activity identification module recognizes an animal in the infrared thermal images. The holder control module makes the infrared thermal imaging module continuously track and take images of the animal according to the identification result of the animal activity identification module. Through use of a digital image processing technology, a continuous shooting mode can be started automatically as needed for animals above a designated size. Therefore, the success rate of shooting for large animals is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of the Internet of Things, in particular to an infrared thermal imaging animal activity tracking system. Background technique [0002] At present, most of the collection of animal activities is generally done by placing monitoring equipment in the area to be monitored, taking pictures of the surrounding environment at a certain time interval or using continuous video recording to collect animal activities and sending people to the monitoring equipment on a regular basis Recycling data, this monitoring method has high randomness, high energy demand for equipment, long data recovery cycle, and large manpower consumption. At the same time, the recovered data only has basic information such as photos and time. Another common solution is to sense animal activities through infrared thermal sensors, enable infrared LED supplementary light according to the lighting conditions, and then manipulate the image sensor to...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This kind of solution requires additional infrared LED supplementary light, and the concealment of the equipment is not good. If the weather conditions are bad or the ambient light is not ideal, the imaging effect will be poor, and the imaging needs to be realized at a relatively short distance.

And as long as there is a moving object that triggers the infrared thermal sensor, it will take pictures, and it is impossible to take pictures and videos of animals that meet the conditions.
