Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of animal deterrence technology, and in particular to a bird deterrence device, control method, terminal and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Birds pose many hazards to power transmission lines. The twigs, wires, cotton threads, and other materials they use to build nests on transmission towers can fall and short-circuit the porcelain insulators, causing the line to trip. Bird droppings can also cause transmission line faults and tripping. In addition, bird droppings can contaminate porcelain insulators, reducing the external insulation strength of the insulator strings and thus causing transmission line faults.

[0003] To prevent bird damage, bird deterrent devices are now installed on power transmission line towers. Some of these devices are relatively passive, only deterring birds after they have already perched on the power lines. Other devices, such as those using lasers, are less effective in bright daylight due to significant light attenuation over long distances and small spot sizes. Active sound-based deterrents are less targeted, and after prolonged use, some intelligent birds can detect these weaknesses and choose suitable times and locations to perch, reducing the effectiveness of the bird deterrents.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop and design a bird deterrent device. Summary of the Invention

[0074] In the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the invention can be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the invention with unnecessary detail.

[0075] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, specific embodiments will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0076] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. This example is implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provides detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes. However, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0077] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a bird deterrent device, comprising: a visual recognition module, a focusing module, and a reflective module;

[0078] The reflective module is electrically connected to the visual recognition module;

[0079] The reflective module includes a first reflector 101 and a first gimbal with two degrees of rotation freedom. The first reflector 101 is fixedly mounted on the first gimbal, and the first gimbal drives the first reflector 101 to achieve pitch rotation and / or yaw rotation.

[0080] The focusing module is used to concentrate sunlight into a beam and project it onto the first reflector 101;

[0081] The visual recognition module uses image recognition of the protected area to drive away the target, determines the location of the target, and outputs a signal instructing the reflective module to illuminate the target based on the location of the target.

[0082] For example, the function of the focusing module is to adjust its posture according to different angles of sunlight so that the angle of sunlight is transformed into a predetermined angle of illumination, and at the same time, to concentrate the sunlight to form a beam of light.

[0083] The reflector module's function is to reflect the beam of light emitted from the focusing module and direct it onto the target, such as a sparrow or swallow, based on the target's location within the protected area. The reflector module includes a first gimbal and a first reflector 101. The first gimbal is a rotary table with two degrees of rotational freedom, and the first reflector 101 is fixedly mounted thereto. The first gimbal drives the first reflector 101, adjusting its pitch and yaw attitude.

[0084] The reflector module receives output instructions from the visual recognition module and adjusts the pitch and / or yaw attitude of the reflector mirror.

[0085] The vision module is a device for acquiring images of the protected area and locating the target to be driven away. Specifically, the vision module is equipped with an image acquisition device and an analysis device. The analysis device analyzes the images acquired by the image acquisition device to determine the position of the target to be driven away, and then outputs a signal indicating the attitude of the first reflector 101 based on the position of the target to be driven away.

[0086] In this embodiment of the invention, a focusing module is provided to adjust different sunlight illumination angles to a unified emission angle and to converge sunlight into a single beam. Therefore, the obtained light intensity is high, significantly improving the illumination intensity, and the large illumination spot facilitates target locking. In another embodiment of the invention, a visual recognition module identifies the image of the protected area and locates the target. Based on the location information, a reflective module is instructed to reflect the target. Therefore, the method is highly targeted, has minimal impact on areas outside the protected area, and achieves good repelling effect.

[0087] like Figure 1 In some embodiments, the focusing module includes: a sunlight tracker (not shown), a second reflector 102, a Fresnel lens 103, a first convex lens 104, and a second gimbal (not shown) with two degrees of rotational freedom.

[0088] The second gimbal is electrically connected to the sunlight tracker;

[0089] The second reflector 102 is fixedly mounted on the second gimbal, and the second gimbal drives the second reflector 102 to achieve pitch rotation and / or yaw rotation;

[0090] The Fresnel lens 103 is fixedly disposed on one side of the reflective surface of the second reflector 102 to receive sunlight reflected by the second reflector;

[0091] The first convex lens 104 is fixedly disposed on the side of the Fresnel lens 103 away from the focal point of the second mirror;

[0092] The reflective module is fixedly mounted on the side of the first convex lens 104 away from the Fresnel lens;

[0093] The sunlight tracker is used to collect the angle of sunlight and output a signal indicating the attitude of the second gimbal based on the angle of sunlight so that the second reflector 102 reflects sunlight onto the Fresnel lens. The angle of sunlight includes pitch angle and yaw angle. The attitude of the second gimbal includes driving the second reflector 102 to achieve pitch attitude adjustment and / or yaw attitude adjustment.

[0094] For example, as described above, the focusing module is used to adjust the direction of light to a predetermined direction and to converge sunlight into a beam. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, a second reflector 102 is provided. This reflector is mounted on the gimbal and adjusts its yaw angle and / or pitch angle according to the angle of sunlight so that the reflected light can enter the Fresnel lens 103 located on its reflecting surface.

[0095] The Fresnel lens 103 collects and focuses the emitted sunlight. A first convex lens 104 is provided in front of or behind the focal point of the Fresnel lens. By adjusting the position of the first convex lens 104 relative to the focal point of the Fresnel lens, the size of the beam cross section can be adjusted. In some applications, the focal length of the first convex lens 104 is the same as that of the Fresnel lens 103.

[0096] Since the first convex lens 104 is positioned in the direction of the light rays emitted from the Fresnel lens, the sunlight passing through the Fresnel lens 103 can be focused into a parallel beam of light. When this beam of light shines on the first reflector 101, it is reflected by the first reflector 101.

[0097] It is worth noting that the second reflector 102 adjusts its orientation under the instruction of the sunlight tracker so that the sunlight reflected by the first reflector 101 can enter the Fresnel lens at a predetermined angle. This effect is achieved because the sunlight tracker can obtain the angle of sunlight in real time. Then, based on the angle of sunlight and the angle of sunlight entering the Fresnel lens, it finds the bisector of the angle between the two sunlight beams. This bisector is the normal of the second reflector 102, and the orientation of the second reflector 102 is adjusted by this normal.

[0098] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the focusing module includes: a sunlight tracker (not shown), a Fresnel lens 103, a first convex lens 104, an optical fiber 201, and a second gimbal (not shown) with two degrees of rotational freedom.

[0099] The second gimbal is electrically connected to the sunlight tracker;

[0100] The Fresnel lens is fixedly mounted on the second gimbal, and the second gimbal drives the Fresnel lens to achieve pitch rotation and / or yaw rotation.

[0101] The first convex lens 104 is fixedly disposed on the side of the Fresnel lens 103 away from the sunlight incident surface and off the focal point of the Fresnel lens 103;

[0102] One end of the optical fiber 201 is fixedly disposed on the side of the first convex lens 104 away from the Fresnel lens, and the end face of the other end of the optical fiber 201 faces the first reflector 101.

[0103] The sunlight tracker is used to collect the angle of sunlight and output a signal indicating the attitude of the second gimbal based on the angle of sunlight so that the Fresnel lens can receive sunlight. The angle of sunlight includes pitch angle and yaw angle. The attitude of the second gimbal includes driving the Fresnel lens to achieve pitch attitude adjustment and / or yaw attitude adjustment.

[0104] For example, in another focusing module structure, the Fresnel lens is fixedly mounted on the second gimbal, which drives it to adjust its posture to receive sunlight. Similarly, in the direction of sunlight emission from the Fresnel lens, a first convex lens 104 is provided. The first convex lens 104 is positioned off-center from the focal point of the Fresnel lens. In some applications, the focal length of the Fresnel lens 103 is the same as that of the first convex lens 104. The first convex lens 104 adjusts the sunlight emitted from the Fresnel lens 103 into a beam. This beam emitted from the first convex lens 104 only needs to be transmitted through an optical fiber 201 composed of multiple optical fiber filaments, and the beam is adjusted to a preset illumination angle to illuminate the first reflector 101.

[0105] In this embodiment of the invention, the second gimbal is used in conjunction with a sunlight tracker. The sunlight tracker captures the angle of sunlight and outputs a signal indicating the attitude of the Fresnel lens 103, so that the Fresnel lens can always face the sunlight and acquire sunlight.

[0106] In this embodiment of the invention, a gimbal and a sunlight tracker are used to drive the Fresnel lens to adjust its attitude in order to obtain the most abundant sunlight. The light beam formed by the adjustment of the first convex lens 104 is adjusted to the predetermined light emission angle through the optical fiber 201. Therefore, the sunlight acquisition rate is high and the irradiation intensity is large.

[0107] In some embodiments, the sunlight tracker includes: a photosensor, a tracking control module, and a third gimbal with two degrees of rotational freedom;

[0108] The photosensitive component, the second gimbal, and the third gimbal are each electrically connected to the tracking control module;

[0109] The photosensitive component is fixedly mounted on the third gimbal.

[0110] The third gimbal is used to drive the photosensitive component to rotate in order to adjust the relative angle between the photosensitive component and sunlight;

[0111] The photosensitive component outputs a signal indicating the illumination offset, and the third gimbal outputs a signal indicating the attitude of the third gimbal based on the illumination offset signal.

[0112] When the signal of the illumination offset is less than the threshold, the tracking control module outputs the sunlight illumination angle according to the attitude of the third gimbal and outputs a signal indicating the attitude of the second gimbal according to the sunlight illumination angle.

[0113] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the photosensitive component includes: a cylindrical body 301, a second convex lens 302, and a photosensitive plate 303;

[0114] The second convex lens 302 is fixedly disposed at the front opening of the cylindrical body 301, and the photosensitive plate 303 is fixedly disposed inside the cylindrical body 301 at the focal position corresponding to the second convex lens 302; the cylindrical body 301 is fixedly connected to the adjustment bracket;

[0115] The photosensitive plate 303 includes three photoresistors 3031 that are not on a straight line;

[0116] The photoresistor 3031 of the photosensitive plate 303 is electrically connected to the tracking control module, and the tracking control module determines the irradiation offset based on the resistance value of the photosensitive plate 303.

[0117] For example, the photosensitive component is a second convex lens 302 and a photosensitive plate 303 installed inside an opaque cylinder 301 to provide feedback on the angle between the axis of the cylinder 301 and the angle of sunlight. When there is a deviation between the axis of the cylinder 301 and the angle of sunlight, when sunlight shines on one of the multiple photoresistors 3031 through the lens, the photoresistor 3031 will produce a change in resistance. Based on the resistance value, the direction of deflection can be determined, and the axis of the cylinder 301 can be adjusted to be parallel to the angle of sunlight by means of gimbal retraction.

[0118] Since the cylinder 301 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the gimbal, the angle of sunlight can be determined by reading the attitude angles of the movable end of the gimbal: yaw angle and pitch angle.

[0119] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first gimbal, the second gimbal, and the third gimbal each include: a gimbal body frame 401, an L-shaped frame 402, a yaw motor 403, and a pitch motor 404.

[0120] The yaw motor 403 is fixedly connected to the gimbal frame 401, the output shaft of the yaw motor 403 is fixedly connected to the first part of the L-shaped frame, and the pitch motor 404 is fixedly connected to the second part of the L-shaped frame.

[0121] The first part of the L-shaped frame and the second part of the L-shaped frame together form an L-shape.

[0122] Figure 5 A flowchart of a bird control method provided for an embodiment of the present invention.

[0123] like Figure 5 As shown, a flowchart illustrating the implementation of the bird control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is presented, and is described in detail below:

[0124] In step 501, multiple images of the protected area are acquired, wherein the multiple images of the protected area are acquired based on at least two different perspectives;

[0125] In step 502, the location of the target to be driven away in the protection zone image is identified based on the multiple protection zone images;

[0126] In step 503, the location of the target to be driven away in the protected area is determined based on the location of the target in the multiple images of the protected area;

[0127] In step 504, a signal indicating the pitch and / or yaw angle of the first reflector 101 is output according to the position of the target to be driven away in the protected area.

[0128] In some implementations, identifying the location of the target to be driven away in the protected area image includes:

[0129] The protected area image is preprocessed, including desaturation, brightness adjustment, and resolution adjustment.

[0130] The protected area image is divided into multiple image blocks according to a predetermined resolution;

[0131] The multiple image patches are fed into the recognition model to obtain multiple recognition results corresponding to the multiple image patches. The recognition model is constructed based on a CNN neural network model and is obtained after training by removing the target sample.

[0132] Based on the image blocks containing the target being driven away in the multiple recognition results, the position of the target being driven away in the protected area image is determined.

[0133] For example, as mentioned earlier, the removal of the target is achieved through identification and positioning using a visual recognition device. In some application scenarios, the visual recognition device includes multiple cameras, such as two cameras. These two cameras simultaneously capture images of the protected area from different perspectives. After formatting adjustments such as desaturation, brightness adjustment, and resolution adjustment, these images are segmented. The purpose of segmentation is to divide the image into small blocks. When one of these blocks contains the target, the approximate location of the target can be determined based on the block's position in the image. When two images are acquired from two different perspectives, the location of the target can be determined by the intersection of the two azimuth angles.

[0134] In one application scenario, a recognition model based on a CNN neural network was used for the recognition of the aforementioned image patches. The model was then trained with a large number of deportation target samples, at which point it was able to identify the deportation target.

[0135] The bird-repelling control method of the present invention first acquires multiple images of a protected area, wherein the multiple images of the protected area are acquired from at least two different perspectives; then, based on the multiple images of the protected area, the position of the target to be repelled in the protected area images is identified; next, based on the position of the target to be repelled in the multiple images of the protected area, the position of the target to be repelled in the protected area is determined; finally, based on the position of the target to be repelled in the protected area, a signal indicating the pitch and / or yaw angle of the first reflector 101 is output. The method of the present invention identifies and locates the target in the images by segmenting them into image blocks from different perspectives, and then locates the position of the target to be repelled by using the positions in multiple images. Therefore, the positioning accuracy is high, and when controlling the attitude of the reflector to reflect sunlight, it is highly targeted and has a significant bird-repelling effect.

[0136] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

Figure 6 As shown, the terminal 6 in this embodiment includes a processor 600 and a memory 601, wherein the memory 601 stores a computer program 602 that can run on the processor 600.
