Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal expulsion, and in particular to a method for identifying animals by using an imaging system and performing electronic pulse discharge to expel the animals. Background Art

[0002] In the existing technology, the problem of expelling small animals (such as dogs, cats, rodents, etc.) around vehicles is usually solved by emitting natural enemy sound effects, sound waves, lights, etc. However, these methods have many shortcomings, and the problems are particularly prominent in specific scenarios. Specifically, the existing expulsion methods perform poorly in the following two pain point scenarios: Pain point scenario 1: After locking the car, some dogs like to defecate or chew near the tires. This behavior not only destroys the neat appearance of the vehicle, but also may damage the tires and even cause safety hazards; Pain point scenario 2: Cats and rodents like to get into the gaps in the vehicle body to keep warm or look for food. Once these small animals enter the vehicle, they may damage the vehicle's wiring, interior, etc., or even cause malfunctions. At the same time, their excrement may also pollute the environment inside the vehicle.

[0003] Specifically, as shown in the existing patent No. 201821910875.5, a 360-degree animal repelling device is installed on the shell. When the animal tracking sensing module senses the animal signal, the control unit will trigger the natural enemy sound effect deterrent unit, the repelling light irradiation unit and the repelling ultrasonic wave output unit, and emit the natural enemy sound effect for deterrence, the repelling light and the repelling ultrasonic wave to deter the approaching animals. However, this technical means is prone to noise pollution and light pollution, which has an adverse impact on the surrounding environment and residents' lives; in addition, animals exposed to these deterrent means for a long time will gradually adapt and produce desensitization, resulting in a greatly reduced repelling effect. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above pain point scenarios and the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention proposes a method of using an imaging system to identify animals and drive them away by electronic pulse discharge. This method uses advanced image recognition technology, combined with cloud processing capabilities and electronic pulse discharge devices, to achieve accurate identification and efficient expulsion of small animals around the vehicle. Through real-time monitoring and rapid response, the method of the present invention can significantly reduce the damage and safety hazards of small animals to the vehicle, providing car owners with a safer and more convenient car experience.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented by the following technical solutions: The method of using an imaging system to identify animals and drive them away by electronic pulse discharge includes the following steps: S1. Capturing an image of an animal within a camera range through a camera capture module, wherein the camera capture module includes a camera unit, a sensor trigger unit electrically connected to the camera unit, and an image processing unit, wherein the sensor trigger unit is used to detect a trigger signal and instruct the camera unit to collect an image according to the trigger signal; S2, uploading the image photos captured by the camera unit to the cloud data processing module through the network for animal image recognition, wherein the cloud data processing module is preset with a white list of expelled animals; S3, the cloud data processing module identifies the animal in the image photo. If the identified animal is in the white list, no expulsion instruction is issued; if the identified animal is not in the white list, the identification result is sent back to the vehicle control module; S4. The vehicle control module determines whether it is necessary to issue an expulsion signal based on the recognition result sent back by the cloud data processing module.

[0006] A further technical solution of the present application: In S1, the image of the animal entering the camera range is captured by the camera capture module, and the specific steps include: S11, the camera unit continuously captures images within the camera range according to preset different frame rates; S12, the image processing unit performs algorithm calculation and comparison on the continuously collected images to detect changes in the picture, wherein the changes in the picture include picture differences caused by the appearance of animals; S13, when the change in the picture reaches or exceeds a preset threshold, the sensor trigger unit generates a trigger signal and transmits it to the camera unit; S14: The camera unit collects and saves images according to the received trigger signal.

[0007] A further technical solution of the present application: the vehicle control module comprises: a communication unit for transmitting and receiving data; a control logic unit for controlling the electronic pulse unit to generate a high-frequency voltage according to the received recognition result; A further technical solution of the present application: In the step S4, the vehicle control module determines whether to issue an expulsion signal according to the recognition result transmitted back by the cloud data processing module. The specific steps are: S41, the vehicle control module receives the recognition result sent back by the cloud data processing module, the recognition result is the identity information of the animal within the camera range, the identity information includes the type, size, and location; S42, the intelligent judgment system built into the vehicle control module compares the received recognition result with the preset animal expulsion whitelist. If the recognized animal is not in the whitelist and is determined to be a species that needs to be expelled according to the preset rules, the next step is entered; S43, the vehicle control module activates the electronic pulse unit, and automatically generates a pulse voltage by controlling the timer and logic circuit preset in the logic unit. During this process, the vehicle control module monitors the working status of the electronic pulse unit in real time to ensure that the voltage output is stable and meets safety standards; S44, upon receiving the activation command, the electronic pulse unit immediately generates a pulse voltage and releases it through electrodes installed around the bottom of the vehicle; S45. After the animal is stimulated by the pulse voltage, the vehicle control module will continue to monitor the animal's reaction and position change. If the animal shows an escape behavior or keeps a safe distance from the vehicle or has an abnormal reaction, the vehicle control module determines to stop outputting the pulse voltage; S46. If the animal still does not leave after the initial stimulation, the vehicle control module will reactivate the electronic pulse unit to expel it according to the preset repeated stimulation strategy. During this process, the vehicle control module will comprehensively consider the comprehensive factors of the animal according to the intelligent judgment system, including the type, size and reaction speed, and adjust the intensity, frequency and duration of the pulse voltage to ensure the maximum expulsion effect.

[0008] A further technical solution of the present application is: in step S45, after the animal is stimulated by the pulse voltage, the vehicle control module will continue to monitor the animal's reaction and position change. The specific judgment criteria in this process are: The determination of escape behavior includes: Movement direction: monitor whether the animal moves away from the vehicle. If the animal starts to move in the opposite direction of the vehicle, it is judged as the animal's escape behavior; Movement speed: observe the speed of the animal's movement. If the animal moves quickly after being stimulated and the speed exceeds the preset speed threshold, it is judged as the animal's escape behavior; The determination of safe distance includes: Preset distance threshold: Preset a safe distance threshold based on the type and size of the vehicle and the threat level of the animal; Real-time monitoring distance: Use the camera unit to monitor the distance between the animal and the vehicle in real time; Distance comparison: The real-time monitored distance is compared with the preset safety distance threshold. If the distance between the animal and the vehicle is greater than or equal to the safety distance threshold, it is judged that the animal and the vehicle have maintained a safe distance, and the vehicle control module will stop the output of the pulse voltage; The determination of abnormal reactions includes: Abnormal behavior: observe whether the animal has abnormal behavior, including stagnation, trembling, and making sounds; Duration: Monitors the duration of abnormal animal behavior. If the duration of the abnormal reaction exceeds the preset threshold, it is judged that the animal has been severely stimulated or injured, and the vehicle control module stops the output of pulse voltage.

[0009] A further technical solution of the present application: the cloud data processing module also includes an animal image database and a matching algorithm for matching the captured animal images with the images in the database to determine whether the animal is on the expulsion whitelist.

[0010] A further technical solution of the present application is that the pulse voltage intensity generated by the electronic pulse unit is an output low-voltage pulse peak of 20V to 30V, a pulse duration of ≤0.1 seconds, and a pulse interval of 1.5 to 2.5 seconds, which is safe and harmless to humans and animals.

[0011] A further technical solution of the present application is that the vehicle control module further includes a child identification unit, and the child identification module is trained based on a child identification algorithm and is used to identify children wearing animal clothes. The specific identification method is: S81. In S1, when the camera capture module captures an image that enters the camera range, it first performs a preliminary screening through the child recognition module, and uses the trained model to classify the image to determine whether it is a child wearing animal clothes; S82, when it is identified that the child is wearing animal clothes, the vehicle control module triggers the child protection mode and automatically turns off the electronic pulse unit; S81. When the child is not identified, continue to identify the animals in the image photo.

[0012] A further technical solution of the present application: The specific steps of the infant recognition algorithm training are: S91, collecting image data of children wearing animal clothes, the image data of the children including different genders, ages, skin colors, animal clothing types, backgrounds, and lighting conditions; and collecting photos of the front, side, back, and different angles of the image data of the children; S92. Label each image to clearly indicate whether it is a child wearing animal clothes or a real animal.

[0013] S93. Adjust the image size to a fixed size, normalize the image pixel values, perform preprocessing, and divide the data set into a training set, a validation set, and a test set. The training set is used to train the model, the validation set is used to adjust the model parameters, and the test set is used to evaluate the model performance.

[0014] S94, input the preprocessed image data into the deep learning model, calculate the loss value through forward propagation, use the back propagation algorithm to update the model parameters, repeat the above process until the performance of the model on the validation set is no longer improved, use the test set to evaluate the performance of the model, and complete the trained model; S95. Integrate the trained model into the vehicle control module to realize the child recognition function.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention utilizes advanced image recognition technology and cloud processing capabilities to monitor animal activities around the vehicle in real time and accurately identify the type, size and location of the animals. Through a preset animal expulsion whitelist, the system can intelligently determine which animals need to be expelled, thereby achieving accurate expulsion of small animals and avoiding accidental injury to harmless or protected animals.

[0016] Compared with the traditional methods of emitting natural enemy sound effects, sound waves, lights, etc., the electronic pulse discharge expulsion method adopted by the present invention is more environmentally friendly and will not produce noise pollution and light pollution. At the same time, the intensity of the electronic pulse discharge has been carefully set to meet safety standards and is harmless to the human body, ensuring the safety of the user and the expelled animals.

[0017] The vehicle control module of the present invention has a built-in intelligent judgment system, which can intelligently adjust the intensity, frequency and duration of the pulse voltage generated by the electronic pulse unit according to the recognition results and preset rules to adapt to animals of different types, sizes and reaction speeds. This intelligent adjustment capability not only improves the expulsion effect, but also avoids unnecessary energy consumption. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The present invention is further described below in combination with the embodiments.

[0021] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 , the embodiment of the present application provides that the method comprises the following steps: S1. Capturing an image of an animal within a camera range through a camera capture module, wherein the camera capture module includes a camera unit, a sensor trigger unit electrically connected to the camera unit, and an image processing unit, wherein the sensor trigger unit is used to detect a trigger signal and instruct the camera unit to collect an image according to the trigger signal; S2, uploading the image photos captured by the camera unit to the cloud data processing module through the network for animal image recognition, wherein the cloud data processing module is preset with a white list of expelled animals; S3, the cloud data processing module identifies the animal in the image photo. If the identified animal is in the white list, no expulsion instruction is issued; if the identified animal is not in the white list, the identification result is sent back to the vehicle control module; S4. The vehicle control module determines whether it is necessary to issue an expulsion signal based on the recognition result sent back by the cloud data processing module.

[0022] Furthermore, in S1, the image of the animal entering the camera range is captured by the camera capture module, and the specific steps include: S11, the camera unit continuously captures images within the camera range according to preset different frame rates; S12, the image processing unit performs algorithm calculation and comparison on the continuously collected images to detect changes in the picture, wherein the changes in the picture include picture differences caused by the appearance of animals; S13, when the change in the picture reaches or exceeds a preset threshold, the sensor trigger unit generates a trigger signal and transmits it to the camera unit; S14: The camera unit collects and saves images according to the received trigger signal.

[0023] Further, the vehicle control module includes: a communication unit for transmitting and receiving data; a control logic unit for controlling the electronic pulse unit to generate a pulse voltage according to the received recognition result; Furthermore, in the step S4, the specific steps of the vehicle control module determining whether to issue an expulsion signal according to the recognition result transmitted back by the cloud data processing module are as follows: S41, the vehicle control module receives the recognition result sent back by the cloud data processing module, the recognition result is the identity information of the animal within the camera range, the identity information includes the type, size, and location; S42, the intelligent judgment system built into the vehicle control module compares the received recognition result with the preset animal expulsion whitelist. If the recognized animal is not in the whitelist and is determined to be a species that needs to be expelled according to the preset rules, the next step is entered; S43, the vehicle control module activates the electronic pulse unit, and automatically generates a pulse voltage by controlling the timer and logic circuit preset in the logic unit. During this process, the vehicle control module monitors the working status of the electronic pulse unit in real time to ensure that the voltage output is stable and meets safety standards; S44, upon receiving the activation command, the electronic pulse unit immediately generates a high-frequency pulse voltage and releases it through electrodes installed around the bottom of the vehicle; S45. After the animal is stimulated by the pulse voltage, the vehicle control module will continue to monitor the animal's reaction and position change. If the animal shows an escape behavior or keeps a safe distance from the vehicle, the vehicle control module determines to stop outputting the pulse voltage; S46. If the animal still does not leave after the initial stimulation, the vehicle control module will reactivate the electronic pulse unit to expel it according to the preset repeated stimulation strategy. During this process, the vehicle control module will comprehensively consider the comprehensive factors of the animal according to the intelligent judgment system, including the type, size and reaction speed, and adjust the intensity, frequency and duration of the pulse voltage to ensure the maximum expulsion effect.

[0024] Furthermore, in step S45, after the animal is stimulated by the pulse voltage, the vehicle control module will continue to monitor the animal's reaction and position change. The specific judgment criteria in this process are: The determination of escape behavior includes: Movement direction: monitor whether the animal moves away from the vehicle. If the animal starts to move in the opposite direction of the vehicle, it is judged as the animal's escape behavior; Movement speed: observe the speed of the animal's movement. If the animal moves quickly after being stimulated and the speed exceeds the preset speed threshold, it is judged as the animal's escape behavior; The determination of safe distance includes: Preset distance threshold: Preset a safe distance threshold based on the type and size of the vehicle and the threat level of the animal; Real-time monitoring distance: Use the camera unit to monitor the distance between the animal and the vehicle in real time; Distance comparison: The real-time monitored distance is compared with the preset safety distance threshold. If the distance between the animal and the vehicle is greater than or equal to the safety distance threshold, it is judged that the animal and the vehicle have maintained a safe distance, and the vehicle control module will stop the output of the pulse voltage; The determination of abnormal reactions includes: Abnormal behavior: observe whether the animal has abnormal behavior, including stagnation, trembling, and making sounds; Duration: Monitor the duration of abnormal animal behavior. If the duration of the abnormal reaction exceeds the preset threshold, it is judged that the animal has been severely stimulated or injured, and the output of the pulse voltage is stopped immediately.

[0025] Furthermore, the cloud data processing module also includes an animal image database and a matching algorithm for matching the captured animal image with the image in the database to determine whether the animal is on the expulsion whitelist.

[0026] Furthermore, the pulse voltage intensity generated by the electronic pulse unit is an output low-voltage pulse peak of 20V to 30V, which is harmless to the human body while still being able to effectively drive away the target animals. The pulse duration is ≤0.1 second, which meets safety standards and is harmless to the human body. Taking into account the feelings and physiological characteristics of animals, the pulse interval is 1.5 to 2.5 seconds, which ensures that the animals have enough time to recover and reduces the possibility of continuous stimulation. The pulse voltage intensity generated by the electronic pulse unit meets the "Pulse Electronic Fence and Its Installation and Safe Operation" standard and is safe and harmless to humans and animals.

[0027] In a system that uses an imaging system to identify animals and drive them away with electronic pulse discharge, there is a special situation where a young child wearing animal clothing may be mistakenly identified as an animal and thus suffer unnecessary electronic pulse stimulation. To solve this problem, this implementation case proposes an improved method to ensure the safety and accuracy of the system.

[0028] Furthermore, the vehicle control module further includes a child identification unit, which is trained based on a child identification algorithm and is used to identify children wearing animal clothes. The specific identification method is: S81. In S1, when the camera capture module captures an image that enters the camera range, it first performs a preliminary screening through the child recognition module, and uses the trained model to classify the image to determine whether it is a child wearing animal clothes; S82, when it is identified that the child is wearing animal clothes, the vehicle control module triggers the child protection mode and automatically turns off the electronic pulse unit; S81. When the child is not identified, continue to identify the animals in the image photo.

[0029] Furthermore, the specific steps of the child recognition algorithm training are: S91, collecting image data of children wearing animal clothes, the image data of the children including different genders, ages, skin colors, animal clothing types, backgrounds, and lighting conditions; and collecting photos of the front, side, back, and different angles of the image data of the children; S92. Label each image to clearly indicate whether it is a child wearing animal clothes or a real animal.

[0030] S93. Adjust the image size to a fixed size, normalize the image pixel values, perform preprocessing, and divide the data set into a training set, a validation set, and a test set. The training set is used to train the model, the validation set is used to adjust the model parameters, and the test set is used to evaluate the model performance.

[0031] S94, input the preprocessed image data into the deep learning model, calculate the loss value through forward propagation, use the back propagation algorithm to update the model parameters, repeat the above process until the performance of the model on the validation set is no longer improved, use the test set to evaluate the performance of the model, and complete the trained model; S95. Integrate the trained model into the vehicle control module to realize the child recognition function.

[0032] By implementing the above method, the safety and accuracy of the system can be significantly improved, and the problem of young children wearing animal clothes being accidentally touched can be effectively avoided.
