Embodiment Construction

[0014] Examples are described herein in the context of insect sensing systems and methods. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the following description is illustrative only and is not intended to be limiting in any way. Reference will now be made in detail to example embodiments as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings and the following description to refer to the same or similar items.

[0015] In the interest of clarity, not all of the routine features of the examples described herein are shown and described. Of course, it should be understood that in the development of any such actual implementation, many implementation-specific decisions must be made in order to achieve the developer's specific goals (such as compliance with application and business-related constraints), and that these specific goals Will vary by implementation and by developer.

[0016] To help eradicate insect-bor...

Abstract

One example insect sensing system includes a light emitter configured to emit light; a structured light generator positioned to receive the emitted light and configured to generate structured light from the emitted light; a plurality of light sensors arranged in a line, each of the light sensors oriented to receive at least a portion of the structured light and output a sensor signal indicating anamount of light received by the respective light sensor; a processing device configured to: obtain the sensor signals from each of the light sensors, and determine a presence of an insect based a received sensor signal from at least one light sensor, the sensor signal indicating a reduced amount of received light by the at least one light sensor. Another example insect sensing system includes a camera comprising an image sensor and a lens having an aperture of f / 2.8 or wider; and a processor configured to obtain an image from the camera and detect an insect in the image.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates generally to insect release mechanisms and, more particularly, to insect sensing systems and methods. Background technique [0002] All continents except Antarctica are plagued by mosquito-borne diseases. Various techniques for controlling mosquito populations involve producing sterile male insects for release into the wild to mate with local females. These techniques require systems for releasing reared insects into the wild. Contents of the invention [0003] Various examples of insect sensing systems and methods are described. An example sensing system includes: a light emitter configured to emit light; a structured light generator positioned to receive the emitted light and configured to generate structured light having a shape; a plurality of light sensors arranged according to the shape , each light sensor is oriented to receive at least a portion of the structured light and output a sensor signal indicative o...
