Wild animal observation system and method based on miniature refrigeration thermal infrared imager

Abstract

The invention provides a wild animal observation system and method based on a miniature refrigeration thermal infrared imager. The wild animal observation system comprises a photoelectric pod and a data processing terminal, wherein the photoelectric pod is used for acquiring an infrared image and a visible light image of a wild animal at the same time, and sending the infrared image and the visible light image to the data processing terminal; and the data processing terminal is used for controlling working parameters and an observation attitude of the photoelectric pod, receiving and processing the infrared images and the visible light images uploaded by the photoelectric pod, generating an animal population quantity observation result of each image, and importing the animal population quantity observation result into a database. Wild animal populations in a large-range area can be rapidly and directly observed, the types and the number of wild animals are automatically interpreted andcounted, and the system and the method are rapid in deployment, high in observation precision and high in automation degree.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wild animal observation, and in particular relates to a wild animal observation system and method based on a miniature cooling infrared thermal imager. Background technique [0002] The species and quantity of wild animals are direct indicators of biodiversity evaluation, regulation and protection. The quality status of wild animals is of great significance to the balance and stability of ecosystems. The species, quantity and adaptability of wild animals to habitat conditions are important indicators of ecosystem changes and reflect management strategies. Wildlife observation is a necessary technical means for the investigation of wild animal species, quantity and habitat conditions, and an important basis for effective protection, sustainable use, policy formulation and scientific management of wild animal resources. [0003] At present, infrared-triggered camera-trapping (infrared-triggered camera-trap...

Problems solved by technology

However, the infrared sensing equipment used in wildlife monitoring, such as infrared cameras, still has certain defects. On the one hand, its observation range and observation distance are limited, and a large number of monitoring points need to be arranged in the monitoring area, and generally it can only detect a single wild animal. After shooting, the population data and density of wild animals in the area are estimated through relevant models. The whole process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there are certain errors in the monitoring results; , the shooting effect is unstable. If the distance between the wild animal and the camera is far away, the shooting effect will be worse, and the shape information such as the outline of the wild animal cannot be accurately obtained.

These deficiencies inevitably bring a lot of unreliable information to wildlife surveys, increasing manual analysis and material costs
