Method for monitoring animal health by an unmanned aerial vehicle and the unmanned aerial vehicle for monitoring animal health

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for monitoring animal health by an unmanned aerial vehicle and the unmanned aerial vehicle for monitoring animal health. The method comprises the following steps: regularly acquiring an image containing a target animal group, and determining abnormal animals with abnormal behaviors according to the image and a pre-stored animal behavior model to generate position information and abnormal behavior information of the abnormal animals in the image; adjusting flight parameters of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the optical axis direction of a camera of the unmannedaerial vehicle to track abnormal animals and activate electronic tags in the abnormal animals; determining an electronic tag corresponding to the abnormal animal, and receiving state information of the abnormal animal sent by the electronic tag of the abnormal animal; and sending the state information and the abnormal behavior information of the abnormal animal to a monitoring center. According to the method for monitoring the animal health by the unmanned aerial vehicle and the unmanned aerial vehicle for monitoring the animal health provided by the embodiment of the invention, the comprehensive monitoring of the animal health is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a method for monitoring animal health by unmanned aerial vehicles and an unmanned aerial vehicle for monitoring animal health. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of UAV technology, UAVs have been applied in the field of grazing due to their advantages such as low cost, no risk of casualties, and intelligence. When using drones for grazing, the herdsman cannot obtain the physiological information and behavior information of the animals at close range, which has a certain impact on the animal's health status information for the herdsman. Therefore, people hope to use drones to monitor animals The health status of the animals, so that animals with abnormal health status can be found in time and the herdsmen can be notified. [0003] The existing technology uses an infrared thermometer to measure the animal's body temperature to judge the ...

Problems solved by technology

When using drones for grazing, the herdsman cannot obtain the physiological information and behavior information of the animals at close range, which has a certain impact on the animal's health status information for the herdsman. Therefore, people hope to use drones to monitor animals The physical health status of animals, so that animals with abnormal health status can be detected in time and the herdsmen can be notified

[0003] The existing technology uses an infrared thermometer to measure the animal's body temperature to judge the animal's health status information, but the animal's body temperature can only reflect some of the animal's diseases, such as falls, indigestion and other diseases cannot be characterized by body temperature, so only rely on The body temperature measurement of animals cannot realize the comprehensive monitoring of animal health status
