Automatic breeding pig feeding machine material amount detection system and method based on machine vision

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic breeding pig feeding machine material amount detection system and method based on machine vision. The system comprises a camera module, a water valve module, a flowmeter module, a display module, a main control circuit, a motor module and a power supply module, wherein the main control circuit is connected with all other modules. On one hand, the water valve module is controlled according to a water discharge amount obtained by the flowmeter module to implement automatic water discharge, on the other hand, according to image information acquired by the camera module, material amount situations in material basins are confirmed by using a target area partitioning method based on OpenCV and an area growth algorithm, and furthermore, the motor module is controlled to implement automatic material discharge. With the combination of machine vision and a breeding pig feeding machine, the robustness of automatic water and material discharge of the breeding pig feeding machine can be well improved, the probability of excessive or sufficient water and material discharge can be reduced, and precise casting of pig feeds can be achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of machine vision, in particular to a machine vision-based automatic detection system and method for feeding amount of nursery pig feeders. Background technique [0002] my country's pig industry has played an important role in meeting market demand and increasing farmers' income. According to statistics, in 2017, 690 million pigs were slaughtered in my country, and the total pork output reached 52.99 million tons, accounting for half of the world's total output. my country has become the world's number one pork producer , but also the world's largest pork consumer. [0003] However, the level of pig raising in my country is still relatively low compared with the world level, especially in terms of slaughter rate and productivity. Yield rate, etc. Modern breeding technology enables sows to grow fast, have a high lean meat rate, and increase litter size. Lactating sows have insufficient body fat reserves and must secre...

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, most nutritionists and pig producers are committed to developing measures to increase feed intake of sows, such as improving feed formula for lactating sows, improving feed palatability, providing a comfortable farrowing room environment, and ensuring sufficient feed intake while meeting feed intake. Water supply, increase feeding times, eat less and eat more, etc., but these measures will increase the labor intensity of the breeder and increase labor costs
