Instant identification and counting system for sticky insect paper pests

Abstract

This invention is a real-time identification and counting system for insect pests using sticky insect paper. It comprises: an insect-collecting unit, an image capturing unit, multiple light source units, a positioning unit, a data processing unit, a memory unit, a data storage unit, a communication unit, a display unit, a power supply unit, a housing unit, and a cloud server unit. This invention features fully automatic image capture and identification, optimized sticky insect paper identification technology, portable outdoor operation, and automatic location data integration. Users place the sticky insect paper in the unit and initiate the image capture process with a single button. The image is automatically uploaded to the cloud for identification, and reports on pest species, quantities, and risk levels are returned. It can automatically collect statistical data by identifying pest images and can identify the site, region, and individual management records through encoded QR codes. Statistical data analysis is performed in the background, generating anomaly detection alerts. Combined with expert system management, it provides prevention and control management, pesticide recommendations, and disaster tracking.

A display unit connected to the data processing unit to display the data; a power supply unit connected to the data processing unit, which then transmits power to each connected unit; a housing unit having a receiving space with an opening and a cover, the receiving space containing the sticky insect paper unit, the image capturing unit, the positioning unit, the memory unit, the data processing unit, the data storage unit, the communication unit, and the power supply unit, the display unit being disposed outside the housing unit; and a cloud server unit connected to the communication unit, which transmits the data to provide computation and storage for the cloud server unit.

2. The real-time identification and counting system for sticky insect pests as described in claim 1, wherein, After the transparent protective film is removed, the sticky insect paper unit is placed outside the box to collect insects, then covered with the transparent protective film and sent into the box. The capturing unit then collects the light signal of the surface image of the sticky insect paper unit.

3. The real-time identification and counting system for sticky insect pests as described in claim 1, wherein, The image capturing unit captures light signals from near-infrared, far-infrared, visible, or ultraviolet light, and then converts these light signals into electronic signals to form image data.

4. The real-time identification and counting system for sticky insect pests as described in claim 1, wherein, The light source unit emits light in the wavelength range of near-infrared, far-infrared, visible, or ultraviolet light.

5. The real-time identification and counting system for sticky insect pests and diseases as described in claim 1, wherein, The multiple light source units illuminate the transparent protective film from multiple angles to eliminate light reflection from the transparent protective film, so that the image capturing unit can completely obtain the light signal of the surface image of the sticky insect paper.

6. The real-time identification and counting system for sticky insect pests as described in claim 1, wherein, The data processing unit sends out control signals in real time, and the control signals simultaneously transmit the data to the display unit and the cloud server unit.

7. The real-time identification and counting system for sticky insect pests as described in claim 1, wherein, The display unit is a touch screen, which transmits control commands to the data processing unit.

8. The real-time identification and counting system for sticky insect pests and diseases as described in claim 1, wherein, When the image capturing unit is activated, the memory unit will reset and clear the image data within the memory unit.

9. The real-time identification and counting system for sticky insect pests as described in claim 1, wherein, The power unit is a rechargeable lithium battery.

10. The real-time identification and counting system for sticky insect pests as described in claim 1, wherein, The cloud server unit is equipped with at least one expert system and an artificial intelligence model. The data is input into the expert system and the artificial intelligence model to output insect statistics and insect pesticide recommendations.
