Sex detection system and method for chicken embryonated eggs

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of detection of agricultural and livestock products, in particular to a sex detection system and method for chicken embryonated eggs. The sex detection system for chicken embryonated eggs comprises: a conveying device used for conveying the chick embryonated eggs to a detection area one by one; an image acquisition device arranged in the detection areaand used for acquiring videos and images of the chicken embryonated eggs; and a processing device connected with the image acquisition device and used for carrying out one-dimensional heart rate signal extraction and two-dimensional vessel distribution image extraction on the videos and images of the chicken embryonated eggs, and for analyzing and judging the sex of the chicken embryonated eggs according to the characteristics of one-dimensional heart rate signals and two-dimensional vessel distribution images. According to the system and method, the videos and images of the chick embryonatedeggs are effectively extracted on the premise that egg shells are not damaged, the sex detection results for the chick embryonated eggs are obtained through processing of the videos and images of thechick embryonated eggs in cooperation with the subsequent processing device, online nondestructive sex detection for the chick embryonated eggs is achieved, the chick hatching energy cost is reduced,the production efficiency and detection efficiency of enterprises are improved, the operation is simple and safe, and the system and method meet the production requirements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of detection of agricultural and livestock products, in particular to a system and method for detecting the sex of embryonated eggs. Background technique [0002] Egg production has long been an area of ​​debate in animal welfare circles in livestock production. Female chickens can be used for meat and egg production, while male chickens do not lay eggs and have an excessively long growth cycle to avoid numerous male chicks. The animal protection problem caused by being ground after birth also reduces production costs and improves production efficiency for poultry production enterprises, so that poultry production enterprises can perform gender detection on embryonic chicken eggs before the development of the embryonic nervous system to distinguish them. After the female chicken embryo eggs and the male chicken embryo eggs are processed, the chicken embryo eggs are directly processed. [0003] At present, t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the existing chicken embryo egg gender detection system needs to open the eggshell of the chicken embryo egg, which is likely to cause adverse effects on embryonic development and low detection efficiency.
