Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical technology, and in particular to a pig individual identification and health monitoring system based on biological characteristics. Background Art
[0002] Research on group-reared animal behavior has shown that healthy pigs have specific habits, such as excretion and feeding. Observing these behaviors can promptly identify suspected pig diseases and reduce the likelihood of swine epidemics. To accurately and promptly assess the health of pigs, breeders need to monitor their feeding, drinking, and excretion behaviors. Pigs' behavioral, social, and psychological activities are often intertwined and can affect their health. Therefore, breeders must promptly detect and diagnose abnormal behaviors during the pig breeding process. For large and medium-sized pig farms, relying on individual breeders to monitor behavior is inefficient. Furthermore, large-scale pig farms have too many individuals and breeders have limited resources to monitor every pig. This makes it difficult to monitor every pig, leading to missed screenings. If diseased pigs are not promptly identified and treated, the disease can spread, affecting other healthy pigs and causing immeasurable financial losses.
[0003] Patent number CN115777571A discloses a monitoring system and method for identifying pig behavior. The system includes a camera for capturing real-time visual information within a pigpen. The system also includes an audio acquisition module for acquiring the pig's voice information; an infrared temperature detector for tracking and acquiring the body temperature of a specific pig; and a data processing module for acquiring visual information, audio information, and the pig's body temperature. The method includes the following steps: S1: acquiring image information of individual pigs within the pigpen; S2: acquiring and storing the appearance, voice, and body temperature characteristics of each individual pig; and uniquely numbering each pig.
[0004] However, existing monitoring systems for identifying pig behavior rely on a single sensor and are unable to integrate multi-dimensional biometric features such as sound, body temperature, and gait. This makes individual identification susceptible to occlusion and lighting, and makes it difficult to distinguish individuals with similar appearances. In addition, traditional methods have not established a dynamic feature template library, and have poor adaptability to changes in the appearance of pigs during growth. Frequent manual recalibration is required, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, existing systems only assess health status through a few indicators such as body temperature and food intake, and lack real-time analysis of key features such as gait stability and surface temperature distribution. This leads to delayed disease warnings, the failure to build an individualized digital twin model, the inability to dynamically fit the growth curve, and the fixed warning threshold. It is not dynamically adjusted according to the age and breed of the pig, making it difficult to achieve precise health management. Summary of the Invention

[0070] The third implementation method: system deployment
[0071] 1. System Hardware and Data Acquisition
[0072] Multimodal biometric acquisition module
[0073] 3D facial and ear feature collection
[0074] RGB-D camera: Deploy 2-4 depth cameras (such as Intel RealSense D435i) on the ceilings of the feeding and resting areas of the pig house. The installation height is 2.5-3m, and the coverage area is 5m×5m. The front and side facial point cloud data of the pigs are collected every 5 minutes, and RGB images are obtained simultaneously for nose spot feature extraction.
[0075] Near-infrared camera: Install a near-infrared imaging device (wavelength 850nm, such as FLIRA35) 30 cm above the feeding trough in the feeding area, focus on the pig's ear area, and collect blood vessel distribution images. The collection frequency should be ≥ 20 times per day, covering different lighting conditions (automatically switching between day and night modes).
[0076] Gait and physiological data collection
[0077] Binocular vision sensor: A binocular camera (baseline distance 120mm, such as ZED2i) is installed 1.8m above the pig house passage to capture pig walking videos and simultaneously record dynamic characteristics such as stride length and forelimb swing angle. ≥10 gait cycles of a single pig walking in a single time are collected.
[0078] Weight and temperature sensors: Four sets of pressure sensors (such as Honeywell weighing modules) are embedded in the ground of the feeding area to automatically obtain weight data when the pigs are feeding; an infrared thermal imager (such as NECR300) is installed on the top of the pig house, scanning the entire area every 10 minutes to identify abnormal temperatures in areas such as the ears and back (such as local temperature rise ≥1°C).
[0079] (2) Edge computing node preprocessing process
[0080] Point cloud data processing
[0081] Voxel filtering (voxel size 5 mm) was used to remove noise from the 3D facial point cloud. The pig's face was separated from the background using the RANAC planar segmentation algorithm, and valid point cloud data (≥5000 points) were retained.
[0082] Extract facial contour key points (15 feature points such as the nose tip and ear root) and calculate 50-dimensional geometric features such as contour curvature and symmetry.
[0083] Image and video processing
[0084] Adaptive histogram equalization was performed on near-infrared ear images to enhance vascular contrast. The U-Net network was used to segment the vascular region and extract 20-dimensional features such as vascular branching angle and curvature radius.
[0085] The gait video uses the optical flow method to track the motion trajectory of the joints, combines the Kalman filter to smooth the trajectory, and calculates 12-dimensional dynamic features such as step length, step frequency, and center of gravity offset.
[0086] Data fusion
[0087] 3D facial features (4096 dimensions), ear vascular features (512 dimensions), gait features (128 dimensions), weight (1 dimension), and body temperature (1 dimension) are spliced into a 1024-dimensional standardized feature vector and uploaded to the central server via the MQTT protocol.
[0088] 2. Biometric Fusion Recognition Module
[0089] Transformer Network Architecture
[0090] Input layer: Position encoding of different modal features (facial feature encoding length 50, gait sequence encoding length 10) is performed to generate feature vectors with position information.
[0091] Multi-head self-attention layer: 8 attention heads learn the interaction between different modalities, such as the association weights between facial features and ear features (formula: ), dynamically assign weights (e.g., the weight of ear features in night scenes is increased by 30%).
[0092] Fusion layer: The attention output is mapped to the individual recognition space through the fully connected layer, and a 128-dimensional feature vector is output for individual matching.
[0093] Dynamic template update mechanism
[0094] An individual feature template library was established, and the initial template was generated by averaging the data collected three times at birth.
[0095] Online learning algorithm: When the matching degree between the newly acquired features and the template is less than 95%, the template is updated and the exponential moving average (EMA) is used to fuse the new features (update formula: ), ensure that the template update error is ≤2%.
[0096] (2) Individual Identification Process
[0097] Real-time matching: When a pig enters the monitoring area, the edge computing node generates a feature vector and uploads it. The central server matches the individual number using the nearest neighbor algorithm (cosine distance threshold 0.8), and the matching time is ≤ 200ms.
[0098] Cross-breed adaptability: For different breeds such as Landrace and Duroc, model parameters are pre-trained using a meta-learning algorithm (MAML), allowing adaptation to new pig herds with just 50 samples.
[0099] 3. Digital Twin Health Monitoring Module
[0100] 1. Construction of individualized health records
[0101] Digital twin model parameters
[0102] Growth curve: Fitting daily weight gain data based on the Gompertz growth model (Formula: ,in For mature weight, 、 is the variety parameter), the prediction error is ≤3%.
[0103] Activity patterns: Calculate daily activity duration through gait data (threshold: ≥8 hours for piglets, ≥5 hours for fattening pigs), and combine it with feeding frequency (≥3 times / day) to construct an activity score Sa (0-100 points, with a score below 60 triggering an alert).
[0104] Health status assessment model
[0105] Dynamic weight adjustment: Automatically adjust weight according to pig age (e.g. 1-20 days old: ; 60 days and older: ), ensuring that the assessment focus is different at different growth stages.
[0106] Abnormal body temperature score: The temperature of 5 key areas such as the ear and abdomen is identified through thermal imaging data. When the temperature of ≥3 areas exceeds the mean +1°C, point.
[0107] 2. Early warning mechanism for diseases
[0108] LSTM prediction model
[0109] Input features: daily weight gain, activity duration, and body temperature data from the past 7 days (21 dimensions in total), and output growth trend prediction for the next 3 days.
[0110] Abnormal judgment: When the daily weight gain decreases by ≥10% for three consecutive days and the predicted trend continues to deteriorate, a growth abnormality warning is triggered.
[0111] Gait stability index (CSI)
[0112] Calculation method: ,when If the weight-bearing time of one limb is greater than 15 minutes, it is judged as limb abnormality, and the disease probability is output in combination with historical health data (such as arthritis probability ≥ 70%).
[0113] Graded warning response
[0114] Yellow warning (H<60): Push abnormal information (such as "Pig No. 0012 is not active enough") through the breeding management system, and automatically adjust the feed formula (increase the energy feed by 10%).
[0115] Red alert (H < 40): Triggers an audible and visual alarm and generates an isolation recommendation. Simultaneously retrieves historical data to generate a diagnostic report (such as "elevated body temperature + abnormal gait in the past three days, suspected of Streptococcus suis infection"). The response time for handling the recommendation is ≤ 5 minutes.
[0116] Fourth implementation method: Example, large-scale pig farm application verification
[0117] (1) Scenario Configuration
[0118] Pig farm scale: 1,000 fattening pigs, divided into 10 pig houses, 100 pigs in each house, and a density of 1.2 m2 / pig.
[0119] Hardware deployment: Each dormitory is equipped with 4 RGB-D cameras, 2 near-infrared cameras, 1 set of binocular vision sensors, and 8 sets of weight sensors.
[0120] Algorithm parameters: Transformer model training data: 5,000 pigs (covering 3 breeds), LSTM prediction window: 7 days, online learning update interval: 30 minutes.
[0121] (2) Operational results
[0122] Individual recognition performance
[0123] The recognition accuracy rate is 99.2% under normal lighting, 98.5% at night (infrared fill light), and 97.3% in scenarios where the ear tag is blocked.
[0124] The deployment time for a new herd (Duroc pigs) is 24 hours, while traditional methods take 2 weeks, and the cross-breed identification accuracy is 95%.
[0125] Health monitoring effect
[0126] Early disease warning time: fever symptoms can be identified 48 hours in advance, limb diseases can be warned 72 hours in advance, and the missed detection rate has been reduced from 15% to 3%.
[0127] Improved breeding efficiency: average time to market shortened by 7 days, veterinary drug usage reduced by 30%, and manual inspection intensity reduced by 50%.
[0128] (3) Exception handling example
[0129] Case 1: Early warning of piglet diarrhea
[0130] Piglet No. 0035 experienced a 15% decrease in daily weight gain for two consecutive days, with a CSI of 0.78. Its surface temperature remained normal, but its activity level decreased. The system triggered a yellow alert, stating "Abnormal Growth, Fecal Testing Recommended." Veterinary testing confirmed mild diarrhea, and the patient recovered within 48 hours after prompt medication, preventing widespread infection.
[0131] Case 2: Early warning of arthritis in adult pigs
[0132] Adult pig No. 1021 had a gait CSI of 0.65, an ear temperature elevated by 1.2°C, and a health score of 35. The system triggered a red alert and recommended isolation. An X-ray confirmed knee joint inflammation, shortening treatment by five days to prevent further damage.
