Abstract

A system for recognizing the death of piglet includes a first camera unit is used to shoot at a piglet to produce a thermal image. A second camera unit is used to simultaneously shoot at the piglet to produce a visible image. A first identification unit is used to detect the temperature of the piglet based on the thermal imaging image to obtain a temperature value. A second identification unit is used to detect the color of the piglet based on the visible image to obtain a color value. A database unit is used to store the skin color saturation of all piglets at birth. A processor unit is used to determine whether the temperature value is below a temperature threshold for a duration or/and whether the ratio of the color value to the corresponding piglet's skin color saturation at birth is less than a color threshold value. If so, a piglet death message is sent to a mobile device.

Description

仔豬死亡辨識系統Piglet death identification system

本發明主要為一種辨識系統，特別是有關於一種用以辨識仔豬是否死亡的仔豬死亡辨識系統。The present invention mainly relates to an identification system, in particular to a piglet death identification system for identifying whether a piglet is dead.

養豬業為台灣重要的畜牧產業之一，對於台灣經濟的貢獻與發展攸關甚鉅。而為了維護豬場的經濟收益和育種成效，大部分豬場的員工對仔豬出生和死亡的數量進行統計，並制定和監督相關目標，以減少仔豬在離乳前的死亡率至不超過10%。Pig farming is one of Taiwan's important animal husbandry industries, and it contributes greatly to Taiwan's economy and development. In order to maintain the economic benefits and breeding effectiveness of pig farms, employees in most pig farms count the number of piglets born and dead, and formulate and monitor related goals to reduce the mortality rate of piglets before weaning to no more than 10%.

具體而言，造成仔豬死亡的原因眾多，例如：仔豬未能獲得適當保溫而凍死、為了吸允充分乳量而餓死、母豬臥倒時仔豬走避不及而被壓死，或是因為疾病、下痢等情況而病死等。然而，豬場員工普遍不足，無法頻繁的巡視豬場，導致當豬場中有仔豬死亡時，豬場員工無法在第一時間內將死亡的仔豬由豬場中清除而造成細菌孳生，進而影響在豬場中的其他仔豬的身體健康。Specifically, there are many reasons for the death of piglets, such as: piglets are not properly kept warm and frozen to death, starved to suck enough milk, piglets are crushed to death when the sow is lying down, or because of disease, diarrhea, etc. And so on and die. However, there are generally insufficient staff in pig farms, and it is impossible to inspect the pig farms frequently. As a result, when piglets die in the pig farm, the pig farm staff cannot remove the dead piglets from the pig farm in the first time, causing bacteria to multiply, which in turn affects The health of the other piglets on the farm.

有鑑於此，有必要提供一種仔豬死亡辨識系統，以解決上述之問題。In view of this, it is necessary to provide a piglet death identification system to solve the above problems.
