Abstract

The invention relates to a livestock image acquisition triggering method based on a livestock drinking trough. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring individual information of the livestock and uploading the information to an upper computer; judging whether the livestock image corresponding to the acquired individual information is acquired according to the individual information of the livestock; if not, judging whether the livestock drinks water according to a water flowing signal; if the livestock drinks water, triggering the upper computer to acquire the livestock image, otherwise, continuing acquiring the individual information of the livestock. A livestock image acquisition triggering system based on the livestock drinking trough comprises: a livestock individual information acquisition module which consists of an identify identification and an identification reader, acquires the individual information of the livestock and uploads the information to the upper computer; and a drinking water monitoring module which consists of a flow switch and a data acquisition board, monitors whether water flows in the drinking trough, and sends the water flowing signal to the upper computer to trigger the upper computer to acquire the livestock images. The method and the system can trigger the livestock image acquisition at a high efficiency and in a real-time manner.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal husbandry, in particular to a method and system for triggering animal body image acquisition based on a water dispenser for livestock. Background technique

[0002] In livestock breeding and production, parameters such as height, length, and width of livestock are important indicators to describe the growth status of livestock. Timely monitoring of these growth information of livestock can provide an important basis for production management and business decision-making. In traditional breeding production, the method of manual measurement not only takes a lot of time and labor, but also has low efficiency, and the livestock will be stressed, which will bring great losses to production. Using image technology can partly avoid the shortcomings of traditional measurement technology. Some systems for monitoring the growth of livestock based on the collection of images of livestock bodies have been de...

Embodiment Construction

[0028] A method and system for triggering animal body image collection based on a livestock drinking fountain proposed by the present invention will be described in detail as follows in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] Such as figure 1 As shown, the method for triggering carcass image acquisition based on the livestock drinking fountain includes steps:

[0030] S1. The livestock individual information collection module collects the livestock individual information within the set range of the water dispenser, and uploads it to the host computer;

[0031] S2. According to the livestock individual information, the host computer judges whether the livestock carcass image corresponding to the collected individual information has been collected, if not, execute step S3, otherwise return to step S1;

[0032] S3. The drinking water monitoring module monitors whether there is water flow, if there is water flow, then execute step S4, otherwise execut...
