[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] It should be noted that, if there is no conflict, the various features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, all within the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, although the functional module division is performed in the device schematic diagram and the logical order is shown in the flow chart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be performed in a sequence different from the module division in the device or the flow chart. Furthermore, the words "first", "second", "third", etc. used in this application do not limit the data and execution order, but only distinguish the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and effects.

[0025] In the first place, see Figure 1 The present application embodiment provides a pet urine detection method, which is applied to a urine detection system. The system includes a sample acquisition device, an image acquisition device, and a user terminal. The method includes:

[0026] Step S10, obtaining a urine sample of the pet to be tested through a sample collection device, and after the urine sample contacts with a preset test paper, a color reaction is formed in the detection area of ​​the test paper;

[0027] It should be noted that the sample collection device referred to in this embodiment includes at least a first device and a second device. The first device is connected to the second device. The first device is provided with hydrophobic cat litter. After the urine of the pet to be tested flows through the hydrophobic cat litter in the first device, it gathers in the second device to form the urine sample.

[0028] For example, the first device and the second device are both cavities that can be used to collect pet urine, and the two are designed to be integrally formed. The first device is vertically located on the upper part of the second device. There is a mutually connected channel between the first device and the second device, and the channel is used to circulate pet urine. The first device is filled with hydrophobic cat litter. In this way, after the pet to be tested excretes at the first device, its urine flows into the cavity of the first device. Since the cat litter is hydrophobic, the urine further flows into the second device, thereby forming the above-mentioned urine sample.

[0029] Furthermore, a structure for installing a preset test paper is provided at the bottom of the second device, and the test paper at least includes a test paper body and a detection area, such as Figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of a test strip, the detection area of ​​the test strip includes a plurality of color blocks, each of which can be used to detect a type of parameter of pet urine. For example, the combination of multiple color blocks can detect nitrite, specific gravity, pH, vitamin C, leukocytes, trace albumin, creatinine, carcass, urobilinogen, bilirubin, glucose, protein, occult blood, urine calcium, and blank blocks in pet urine. These detection color blocks react with the urine sample, thereby causing the detection area of ​​the test strip to produce a color reaction and present different colors.

[0030] Step S20, using an image acquisition device to acquire an image of the test paper detection area after the color development reaction is formed, so as to generate a target image;

[0031] It should be noted that the image acquisition device in this embodiment can specifically be a camera or an infrared detector, etc., which can photograph the detection area of ​​the test paper after the above-mentioned color development reaction, and then collect the target image of the color development effect of the test paper. The target image will be further analyzed and processed in subsequent steps to generate the detection result.

[0032] In some embodiments, the image acquisition device can be integrated into the user terminal. In this way, the specific form of the user terminal can be a smart phone, tablet computer, etc., on which the image acquisition device is integrated. The user terminal is installed with a corresponding APP or control program. After the detection starts, the APP or control program of the user terminal calls the image acquisition device of the user terminal to take pictures and store them in the corresponding location.

[0033] In other embodiments, an electric control structure is provided at the channel between the first device and the second device of the urine detection system, based on which the opening / closing of the channel can be controlled, thereby achieving the effect of selecting to start detection. It is understandable that the APP or control program installed on the user terminal can be used to remotely control the electric control structure.

[0034] Step S30, sending the target image to the server through the user terminal based on a preset data transmission rule, so that the server generates a detection report according to the target image, and the detection report is stored in the cloud;

[0035] In this embodiment, the server side corresponds to multiple mini-program applications, each of which corresponds to an application interface. The target image is sent to the server side based on a preset data transmission rule, including: determining a target identifier for a preset test paper model; determining the target application among the multiple mini-program applications corresponding to the server side according to the target identifier; determining the application interface of the target application, and sending the target image to the server side based on the application interface.

[0036] Step S40: download the test report and present the test report on the display interface of the user terminal.

[0037] In this embodiment, downloading the test report and presenting the test report on the display interface of the user terminal specifically includes: sending a link acquisition instruction to the server to obtain a storage link of the server storing the test report; downloading the test report on the cloud according to the storage link, and presenting the test report on the display interface of the user terminal.

[0038] The storage link may specifically be a QR code, URL link, etc. that can indicate certain storage information. The user terminal can read the storage link, parse the corresponding storage information, and download the test report in the cloud based on the storage information.

[0039] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present application also proposes a pet urine detection method, which is applied to a server side. The method includes: the server side is connected to a user terminal for communication. The method includes:

[0040] Receive a target image sent by a user terminal; detect the target image based on a preset test paper detection model to generate a detection result; generate a detection report based on the detection result; upload the detection report to a preset storage area in the cloud to generate a storage link indicating the preset storage area; after receiving a link acquisition instruction sent by the user terminal, send the storage link to the user terminal.

[0041] For the explanation of the target image, please refer to the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Specifically, the target image is detected based on the preset test paper detection model to generate a detection result, including:

[0043] The target image is input into a preset test paper detection model, and the test paper detection model detects the target image and outputs color information about each color block in the test paper detection area; based on the color information, the detection parameters of each detection area in the test paper are determined, and the detection result is generated based on the detection parameters of all detection areas.

[0044] Among them, the preset test paper detection model can be created based on any deep learning network, such as convolutional neural network.

[0045] As an implementation method, a preset test paper detection model performs computer vision-based detection on the target image and predicts the parameters of the color development reaction of each color block, that is, automatic reading is performed through the model to determine the predicted value of each parameter.

[0046] Preferably, this embodiment uses YoloV8 as the framework of the preset test strip detection model. The specific training process of the model, the setting of the loss function, etc., are contents that can be understood by those skilled in the art, and this embodiment does not make too many restrictions on this.

[0047] More specifically, the above-mentioned generation of a test report based on the test results includes: reading the test results to determine the test parameter values ​​of each test area in the test paper; according to a preset test report template, adding the test parameter values ​​of each test area in the test paper to the test report template in sequence to form the test report.

[0048] Among them, the preset detection report target includes multiple parameter types and indicates the default value of each parameter type. After reading the detection parameter value of each detection area, the specific parameter value is filled in the corresponding items of the detection report according to the type of each detection parameter value, and the detection report is obtained.
