TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of wide earthworm sorting, and particularly relates to an intelligent wide earthworm sorting method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Wide earthworm, commonly known as earthworm, is an important biological body with extremely high medical and medicinal value. Although the wild wide earthworm has high medical and medicinal value, the quantity is small and cannot meet the demand. Although the production quantity is improved by using the field cultivation production mode, the annual production is still low, and the field required for production occupies a large area. Only by taking the feed raw material as the center and establishing the earthworm factory, can the problem of insufficient production be solved by intensive cultivation. Through the standardized cultivation mode, the wide earthworm processing and quality standard system is constructed to solve the problem of mixed quality of wide earthworm and the problem of using inferior goods.

[0003] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, through the combination with the artificial intelligence technology, many industries are more automated and intelligent. Many tasks in the biological field can be well completed by the artificial intelligence algorithm, which greatly improves the work efficiency and improves the production of wide earthworm.

[0004] In order to determine the size of the wide earthworm by the intelligent artificial intelligence algorithm, the traditional method is usually determined by the naked eye, which has low accuracy and great subjectivity. The accurate measurement by the ruler measurement often needs to consume a large amount of manpower, and the work efficiency is low. In the face of large-scale cultivation of wide earthworm, this method is not desirable. The present application provides an intelligent method for accurately positioning the position information of the wide earthworm, obtaining the coordinate information of the rectangular detection frame in the image, and calculating the size of the wide earthworm in the image, which can greatly improve the work efficiency.

[0005] The information disclosed in this BACKGROUND section is only for the purpose of increasing the understanding of the background of the present application and should not be taken as an acknowledgment or any form of suggestion that this information forms prior art that is publicly known. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide an intelligent wide earthworm sorting method to solve the problems of low accuracy of the traditional naked eye determination method and consumption of a large amount of manpower by the ruler measurement and low work efficiency.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme:

[0008] An intelligent wide earthworm sorting method comprises the following steps:

[0009] Step one: data acquisition module, through the 4k camera to the data of the earthworm factory to cultivate the broad earthworm, to obtain a certain video segment P = {p1, p2..., p n} in the cultivation of broad earthworm growth standard set A = {a1, a2,..., a n} is set in advance by industry experts;

[0010] Step two: broad earthworm detection module: through the target detection algorithm of image processing to automatically obtain the density of broad earthworm in the current range, locate the area range of broad earthworm, realize the accurate positioning of broad earthworm;

[0011] The video segment P is input to the target detection algorithm, and the identification process is as follows:

[0012] Q = Transformer(P, θ)

[0013] Wherein, θ is the learnable weight parameter of Transformer model, and Transformer model represents that P obtains the image set Q = {q1, q2,..., q n} of each frame of picture of broad earthworm in video segment;

[0014] The pictures of picture set Q are transformed one by one by convolution operator, and new feature set

[0015] Q * = W q Q+b q

[0016] Wherein, Q represents picture set, W q represents the weight value of picture set Q, and b q represents the bias value of picture set;

[0017] The target position of broad earthworm in each picture in picture set Q = {q1, q2,..., q n} is obtained by the target detection algorithm, and the rectangular detection box box of broad earthworm is accurately obtained;

[0018] Step three: calculate the length of broad earthworm, according to the rectangular detection box box of broad earthworm in image obtained in step two, the coordinates of four points of rectangular detection box are (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3) (x4, y4); the diagonal length of rectangular detection box box can be calculated through coordinate information The length of rectangle is l = |x1-x2| or |y1-y2|, the size r of broad earthworm can be obtained by calculating the coordinate information; the value range of r is l≤r≤m, that is, the size length of broad earthworm;

[0019] Step 4: Comprehensive analysis. The length r of *Geoceratops guangdi* obtained in Step 3 is compared with the pre-defined growth standard set A = {a1, a2, ..., a...} set by industry experts. n By conducting comparative analysis, we can determine which stage of growth the Guangdi dragon is currently in, and thus obtain comprehensive treatment recommendations, sort the Guangdi dragons, and carry out scientific breeding.

[0020] As a preferred option, the specific operation for obtaining the rectangular detection box of the ground dragon in step two is as follows:

[0021] (1) Use the self-Transformer model to find the key feature information S of the giant earthworm in the image; S = self-Transformer(Q * C, W), where C = (c1, c2, ..., c n ) represents the location feature information of Guangdilong, W is the weight of Guangdilong's location, and S represents the key feature information of Guangdilong;

[0022] (2) Feature fusion The fusion features T of the *Geoceratops guangensis* are obtained, where f(.) represents the target detection function, W is the weight of the *Geoceratops guangensis*'s position, S represents the key feature information of the *Geoceratops guangensis*, and C = (c1, c2, ..., c...). n ) represents the location feature information of the Globedra chinensis, and bias represents the function bias value;

[0023] (3) Predictive analysis obtains the location information of *Geoceratops guangdi*, and based on the fusion feature T and feature set Q... * This yields a rectangular detection box. in This represents the weight value of each image in image Q. This represents the bias value for each image.

[0024] Traditional methods of sorting earthworms rely on subjective human judgment of size for selection and rearing. This makes it difficult to reasonably evaluate each earthworm, and the subjective nature of the judgment can easily lead to misjudgments and omissions. When raising large numbers of earthworms, using manual sorting methods results in a large workload and the possibility of omissions and incorrect selections.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The intelligent broad earthworm sorting method of the application can objectively analyze the broad earthworm according to the sorting standard set by industry experts in advance, and give objective judgment and processing opinions, thereby playing an auxiliary role in manual judgment and reducing the disadvantages of individual experience bias caused by individual judgment of the size of the broad earthworm. Through rapid collection of data of the broad earthworm, intelligent sorting of the broad earthworm, and reasonable breeding of the broad earthworm, the workload can be greatly reduced.
