The invention relates to the technical field of detection of agricultural and
livestock products, in particular to a sex detection
system and method for chicken embryonated eggs. The sex detection
system for chicken embryonated eggs comprises: a conveying device used for conveying the chick embryonated eggs to a detection area one by one; an
image acquisition device arranged in the detection areaand used for acquiring videos and images of the chicken embryonated eggs; and a
processing device connected with the
image acquisition device and used for carrying out one-dimensional
heart rate signal extraction and two-dimensional vessel distribution
image extraction on the videos and images of the chicken embryonated eggs, and for analyzing and judging the sex of the chicken embryonated eggs according to the characteristics of one-dimensional
heart rate signals and two-dimensional vessel distribution images. According to the
system and method, the videos and images of the chick embryonatedeggs are effectively extracted on the premise that egg shells are not damaged, the sex detection results for the chick embryonated eggs are obtained through
processing of the videos and images of thechick embryonated eggs in cooperation with the subsequent
processing device, online nondestructive sex detection for the chick embryonated eggs is achieved, the chick
hatching energy cost is reduced,the production efficiency and detection efficiency of enterprises are improved, the operation is simple and safe, and the system and method meet the production requirements.
