The invention provides a vision-based chick male and female intelligent identification method and
system, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining and collecting a plurality of images at the
anus of a chick through an
optical imaging module, and forming a chick male and female image
data set; enabling the chick male and female identification module to identify the
network model according to the chick male and female image
data set and then perform multi-task
model learning according to the basic identification
network model to obtain N chick male and female identification models for N chicken breeds; enabling the
optical imaging module to collect an image of the
anus of a to-be-detected chick and inputting the image into the chick male and female identification module, and enabling the chick male and female identification module to judge and output a male and female result according to the chick male and female identification model of the corresponding chicken
breed. The method and
system have the advantages that the male and female chicks are distinguished through the identification model, the
human eye distinguishing function is replaced, and the human eyes are liberated; the accuracy is improved, the labor cost is reduced, and the working efficiency is greatly improved.
