Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of grassland rodent control, in particular to a raptor recognition algorithm and a multifunctional raptor stand. Background Art

[0002] Rodent damage is one of the major biological disasters on grasslands, which can lead to forage loss, grassland degradation, and spread plague and other zoonotic diseases. In order to maintain the ecological balance of grasslands, ensure food security, ecological security and people's health and safety, it is very necessary to control grassland rodent damage. Raptor racks are a green prevention and control measure that uses the natural enemies of rodents to prevent and control rodent damage. The principle is to take advantage of the lack of trees on grasslands and the fact that raptors have nowhere to live. Raptor racks of a certain density are set up in rodent-infested areas to provide more habitats for raptors and increase their range of activities on the grassland, thereby increasing the predation rate of raptors on grassland pests, thereby achieving long-term prevention and control of pests. It has been promoted in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia and other places in my country. However, since raptor racks are generally set up in remote grassland areas, it is not convenient for long-term monitoring. In addition, during the dry season on grasslands, raptors may not go deep into water-scarce areas on grasslands, which is not conducive to grassland rodent control. Therefore, the actual utilization effect of raptor racks, as well as the types, numbers, weights and other related conditions of raptors lack sufficient evaluation, and their actual rodent control capabilities are unclear. Traditional bird identification methods rely on manual classification, which is time-consuming and error-prone. With the development of deep learning technology, vision-based bird identification methods have made significant progress. However, relying solely on visual recognition still has certain limitations in complex environments. This method can provide additional identification features based on weight monitoring information obtained by the raptor rack device to improve identification accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0010] S006: Actual deployment of the trained model.

[0011] In step S003, the total loss function of the model training is obtained by weighted summation of classification loss, positioning loss and confidence loss, where the positioning loss function adopts the CIoU method, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0012] Positioning loss function:

[0013] The intersection of the predicted box and the true box:

[0014] Trade-off parameters:

[0017] In step S004, the raptor identification model and the raptor classification model are scored, and the scores of different categories obtained by the two models are scored and summed to obtain the calibrated raptor species probability. The seat with the highest probability is the final raptor species. The scoring formula is as follows:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] In order to explain the technical content, structural features, achieved objectives and effects of the technical solution in detail, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a raptor identification algorithm, comprising the following steps:

[0047] S003: Model selection and training for raptor image data and weight data;

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, in order to further reduce the amount of calculation and save energy consumption, the visual recognition model selects the lightweight model YOLOv5s, and uses MobileNetV3 to replace the original CSPDarkNet backbone network in YOLOv5s. Through transfer learning technology, the MobileNetV3 model pre-trained on ImageNet is used and fine-tuned on the bird dataset. After training, the algorithm is deployed on the installed edge computing device to achieve the purpose of fast and accurate monitoring of wild birds of prey.

[0049] In step S003, the total loss function of the model training is obtained by weighted summation of classification loss, positioning loss and confidence loss, where the positioning loss function adopts the CIoU method, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0050] Positioning loss function: The quality of model training is solved and evaluated by minimizing the positioning loss function. Generally, the smaller the positioning loss function, the more consistent the predicted box and the real box used to locate the target are;

[0051] The intersection of the predicted box and the true box: Calculate the intersection-union ratio of the predicted box and the true box, that is, the ratio of the intersection area to the union area of ​​the two target boxes;

[0055] S004: Perform feature fusion classification on the image data and weight data of birds of prey;

[0056] In step S004, the scale data and weight features of the raptors identified by the image are fused, and the random forest algorithm (RF) is used for joint feature extraction and classification to improve the robustness and accuracy of the model. The raptor recognition model and the raptor classification model are scored, and the scoring ratio is 1:1. The scores of different categories obtained by the two models are scored and summed to obtain the calibrated raptor species probability. The raptor species with the highest probability is the final raptor species. The scoring formula is as follows:

[0057]

[0058] Among them, i is different types of raptors, T i is the final calibration score predicted by the ensemble method for a certain raptor species, R i To predict the raptor species scores for the recognition model, C i Predict raptor species scores for a classification model.

[0059] S005: Model result output; the results obtained after multimodal feature fusion detection are raptor species, raptor location, raptor weight and raptor size, among which, raptor species is the calibrated category, raptor location is the location information obtained by the raptor recognition model, raptor weight is obtained by an electronic scale, and raptor size is the diagonal length of the raptor location rectangular box.

[0060] S006: Deploy the trained model. Deploy the trained model to actual applications, and finally apply it on the hawk scaffold to achieve real-time identification of grassland eagles. Display the identification results through the front-end interface and provide relevant bird information to assist researchers and bird watchers in bird identification. Figure 4 shown.
