Wearable animal behavior trajectory tracking device and method

Abstract

The invention provides a wearing-type animal behavior trace tracking device and a wear-type animal behavior trace tracking method. The wearing-type animal behavior trace tracking device comprises a control chip, a wireless receiver-transmitter, a laser generator, a prism, a behavioristics device, a lens and an optical sensor; incidence laser generated by the laser generator enters the behavioristics device after being gathered by the prism, the incidence laser is reflected by the behavioristics device to form reflecting light entering the lens, the reflecting light is gathered by the lens to form image information, the image information is transmitted to the optical sensor, and the optical sensor receives the image information and transmits the image information to the control chip; the control chip generates position data according to the image information inputted by the optical sensor and transmits the position data to the wireless receiver-transmitter; the wireless receiver-transmitter is connected with a computer and transmits the position data to the computer. By adopting the device and method, the automatic monitoring and precision evaluation on the motion trace of small animals such as rats and mice in the behavioristics detection process can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to tracking technology of small animal behavior, in particular to a wearable animal behavior track tracking device and method. Background technique [0002] At present, the treatment burden of neuropsychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, depression, drug addiction, and Alzheimer's disease accounts for one-eighth of all diseases worldwide, surpassing cardiovascular diseases and cancer. According to the latest statistics from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Ministry of Health of China, the proportion of people with mental disorders and mental diseases in China is as high as 7%, with a total of more than 100 million people. With the prolongation of people's life expectancy and the special population structure caused by our country's population policy, various problems caused by neuropsychiatric diseases are more prominent. The treatment cost of neuropsychiatric diseases in our country accounts for 20% of the...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] First of all, the previous shooting has higher requirements for the experimental device, and there should be no obstructions on the top

[0006] In addition, when the light is dark or the contrast between the tested animal and the environment is not strong, it is more challenging for the later trajectory analysis, which may lead to errors in the analysis results, and too strong light may cause changes in the behavior of the tested animal

[0007] Therefore, there are certain limitations in a single camera record, and there are obvious shortcomings in the prior art, which seriously limits the application of camera and later trajectory analysis.
