Terrestrial mammal and bird monitoring method and monitoring apparatus

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of biological monitoring and discloses a terrestrial mammal and bird monitoring method and monitoring apparatus. The terrestrial mammal and bird monitoring method ischaracterized by comprising the steps of monitoring a predetermined habitat area; performing automatic continuous monitoring at night; when it is monitored that an organism enters the predetermined area, obtaining a group of continuous infrared images , wherein the continuous infrared images include multiple frames of images; analyzing the continuous infrared images; if the continuous infrared images contain terrestrial mammals and birds, extracting individual features of the terrestrial mammals and birds from the frames of the images; according to the individual features, identifying terrestrial mammal and bird individuals in the frames of the images; tracking the terrestrial mammal and bird individuals in the frames of the images to obtain behavior features corresponding to the terrestrial mammal and bird individuals; and according to the behavior features and a preset species identification model, identifying species corresponding to the terrestrial mammal or bird individuals.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biodiversity discrimination, in particular to a monitoring method and a monitoring device for terrestrial mammals and birds. Background technique [0002] China is one of the countries with the richest biodiversity in the world. It has forests, shrubs, meadows, grasslands, deserts, wetlands and other earth's terrestrial ecosystems, as well as large marine ecosystems in the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, South China Sea, and Kuroshio Basin; it has more than 35,000 higher plants, second only to Brazil and Colombia. It ranks third in the world; it has 6,347 species of vertebrates, accounting for about 14% of the world's total, including 611 species of terrestrial mammals; 1,244 species of birds, one of the countries with the largest number of bird species in the world; 3,862 species of fish, Accounting for 20.3% of the world's total species. [0003] Typically, biodiversity can be expressed in terms of richness and abu...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The inventors found that the existing infrared cameras are prone to produce a large amount of invalid data in the image collection of wild animals, which needs to be manually eliminated; in addition, the lack of species identification technology requires a large amount of manual identification, and the data analysis and processing speed is slow and inefficient. It is difficult to implement the monitoring task
