An FPGA-based intelligent detection system and method for farrowing sows

Abstract

The invention relates to an intelligent sow parturition detection system based on an FPGA and a method. The system comprises a video image acquisition module, a video image processing module, a wireless communication module and a background server, wherein the video image acquisition module is used for acquiring the video image data of a sow, the video image processing module is used for processing the video image data, carrying out target segmentation of the sow and piglets and identifying a parturition state of the sow, and the wireless communication module employs a 3G module and is used for transmitting a processing result of the video image processing module to the background server for storage and sending an identification result to a handset of a breeder to notify the breeder for processing. According to the system, video image detection on the sow is carried out, manual attendance for video watching is not necessary, behaviors of the sow are analyzed and recorded, emergent events of the sow taking parturition for example can be timely discovered, the breeder can be timely notified to adopt corresponding measures, loss caused by improper processing on an emergent event of a farm can be reduced, work efficiency of the breeder is effectively improved, and labor intensity is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of welfare breeding of livestock and poultry facilities, wireless network communication technology, FPGA technology and machine vision technology, and specifically relates to a sow farrowing detection system based on FPGA. Background technique [0002] As more and more developed countries closely link animal welfare with international trade and use animal welfare laws to exert influence on international trade, animal welfare barriers have become a new barrier that seriously affects the export of livestock and poultry products in my country after the green barrier. In addition to providing a good breeding environment for livestock and poultry, the welfare breeding of livestock and poultry also needs to obtain and analyze the behavior of livestock and poultry in a timely manner. Suffering or death caused by abnormal conditions such as livestock and poultry is the basic requirement for realizing the welfare of livestock...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, wireless network communication, video surveillance and other technologies have been applied in the field of facility breeding, but there is no domestic research report on the use of FPGA and machine vision technology for sow farrowing detection. In traditional breeding methods, it is easy to cause death of piglets due to negligence. The phenomenon of intensive farming and facility welfare farming has not yet shown huge economic benefits
