Method for monitoring pig growth using binocular vision technology

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for monitoring pig growth by utilizing a binocular vision technology, and the method comprises the following procedures that: a system is established and calibrated; a pig body image is obtained; the pig body image is transferred; the pig body image is processed; the height of the pig body and the area of the pig body back are measured; and the weight of the pig body is pre-estimated. The growth of the pig is monitored though the method of the invention, the stress to the growth of the pig can not be caused, the operation is easy, the labor strength is reduced, the efficiency is high, the real time is good, the realization of the automation and the network transfer are beneficial, and the remote monitoring can be realized.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of application of computer technology in animal husbandry, and relates to a method for monitoring the growth of pigs using binocular vision technology. Background technique

[0002] In pig production, parameters such as pig body height, body length, and body width are important indicators to describe the growth status of pigs. Timely monitoring of these growth information of pigs can provide an important basis for production management and business decision-making. In traditional production, the acquisition of these growth parameters is done manually. Body shape parameters such as body height are generally measured manually by a tape measure, while body weight is determined by weighing boxes and scales. These traditional measurement methods not only need a lot of time and labor, but also have low efficiency, and cause stress to breeding pigs and bring great losses to production. Especially in the daily fe...
