A wild animal observation system and method based on a miniature cooling infrared thermal imager

Abstract

The invention provides a wild animal observation system and method based on a miniature cooling infrared thermal imager. The wild animal observation system includes a photoelectric pod and a data processing terminal; wherein the photoelectric pod is used to simultaneously acquire infrared images and Visible light image, and send the infrared image and the visible light image to the data processing terminal; the data processing terminal is used to control the working parameters and observation attitude of the photoelectric pod, and receive and process the photoelectric pod The infrared image and the visible light image uploaded by the cabin generate the observation result of the animal population number of each image, and import the observation result of the animal population number into the database. It can quickly directly observe wild animal populations in a large area, automatically interpret and count the types and quantities of wild animals, and has the advantages of quick deployment, high observation accuracy, and high degree of automation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wild animal observation, and in particular relates to a wild animal observation system and method based on a miniature cooling infrared thermal imager. Background technique [0002] The species and quantity of wild animals are direct indicators of biodiversity evaluation, regulation and protection. The quality status of wild animals is of great significance to the balance and stability of ecosystems. The species, quantity and adaptability of wild animals to habitat conditions are important indicators of ecosystem changes and reflect management strategies. Wildlife observation is a necessary technical means for the investigation of wild animal species, quantity and habitat conditions, and an important basis for effective protection, sustainable use, policy formulation and scientific management of wild animal resources. [0003] At present, infrared-triggered camera-trapping (infrared-triggered camera-trap...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the infrared sensing equipment used in wildlife monitoring, such as infrared cameras, still has certain defects. On the one hand, its observation range and observation distance are limited, and a large number of monitoring points need to be arranged in the monitoring area, and generally it can only detect a single wild animal. After shooting, the population data and density of wild animals in the area are estimated through relevant models. The whole process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there are certain errors in the monitoring results; , the shooting effect is unstable. If the distance between the wild animal and the camera is far away, the shooting effect will be worse, and the shape information such as the outline of the wild animal cannot be accurately obtained.

These deficiencies inevitably bring a lot of unreliable information to wildlife surveys, increasing manual analysis and material costs
