Such methods have several inherent technical defects: the data source is single, only body weight information can be obtained, and key biological characteristics such as individual body shape structure and behavior activity cannot be fully reflected, resulting in a serious lack of evaluation dimensions; at the same time, the active individual data is over-sampled and the weak individual data is missing due to the active sampling mechanism, causing significant sample bias and making it difficult to truly represent the overall group condition; in addition, the existing algorithm parameters are fixed and lack the ability to dynamically adapt to group growth stages and environmental changes, with poor adaptability; finally, the evaluation results are usually only a single indicator such as average body weight, which cannot provide comprehensive and predictive insights into group uniformity, growth trend and health status, seriously restricting the implementation of precise management decisions. SUMMARY

[0027] To solve the technical problems of incomplete information dimension, large sample bias, poor dynamic adaptability and limited evaluation dimension caused by relying on single sensor data in the existing poultry weight estimation technology, the present application provides a poultry growth intelligent monitoring method based on multi-modal data fusion, which comprises the following steps: Acquiring multi-modal data of poultry through multiple sensors; wherein the multi-modal data includes weight data, image data, activity data and environmental data; Removing noise, removing duplicates and identifying the multi-modal data through a preprocessing algorithm to obtain standard data; A multi-dimensional feature vector is established based on standard data, and the multi-dimensional feature vector is weighted and fused through an attention mechanism to obtain fused features; Based on the fused features, a GMM-HMM model and a Transformer network are used to model and predict the growth dynamics of the poultry group, and a group uniformity evaluation index is calculated to obtain an analysis result. According to the analysis result, a weight estimation and a growth warning signal are generated.

[0028] Therefore, the technical problems of incomplete information dimension, large sample bias, poor dynamic adaptability, and limited evaluation dimension caused by the dependence of the existing poultry weight estimation technology on single sensor data are solved.

[0029] As shown in Figure 2 The poultry growth intelligent monitoring method based on multi-modal data fusion provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises: S201, multi-modal data of poultry is collected through multiple sensors.

[0030] The multi-modal data includes weight data, image data, activity data, and environmental data.

[0031] In some implementations, the collection method of the multi-modal data comprises: The weight data of the poultry is obtained through an intelligent weighing device; The image data of the poultry is collected through a 3D vision system; The activity frequency and duration of the poultry are recorded through an RFID identification system; The environmental data in the poultry house is monitored through an environmental sensor array; the environmental data includes temperature, humidity, and light intensity.

[0032] It should be noted that through the hardware cooperation and time synchronization mechanism, the continuous, correlated, and homologous collection of the weight, shape, behavior, and breeding environment of the poultry is realized for the first time, the problem of data fragmentation and space-time mismatch in traditional methods is solved, and a reliable data foundation is provided for subsequent high-precision fusion analysis, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the evaluation model from the source.

[0033] For example, the intelligent weighing device (precision ± 5 grams) deployed in the standardized stacked cage poultry house continuously obtains individual weight data when the chickens are feeding, and the 3D depth camera (resolution 1280x720) erected in the passageway synchronously collects the overhead and side view images of the chickens to extract body size parameters. The passive RFID tag worn on the leg of the chicken is scanned by the read-write device on both sides of the passageway in real time to record its entry and exit frequency and residence time. The environmental sensing nodes distributed at the four corners of the poultry house continuously monitor and report temperature, humidity and light intensity data. All sensor data are time-synchronized and packaged through a unified Internet of Things gateway to form a multi-modal data stream with a time stamp.

[0034] In S202, the multi-modal data is denoised, deduplicated and identified through a preprocessing algorithm to obtain standard data.

[0035] In some implementations, the denoising, deduplication and identification of the multi-modal data through the preprocessing algorithm comprises: The weight data is denoised through an adaptive filtering algorithm to obtain denoised data. The multi-modal data is deduplicated based on RFID information and a time stamp. The image data is identified, segmented and feature-extracted through a target detection algorithm.

[0036] It should be noted that through the preprocessing process for the characteristics of each modal data, the noise, redundancy and target mixing problems in the original data are systematically solved, the heterogeneous and original sensor output is converted into clean, regular and usable standard data for advanced analysis, laying a high-quality data foundation for subsequent feature fusion and modeling, and significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the entire system analysis.

[0037] For example, a Kalman adaptive filter is used to real-time denoise the original weight data obtained by the intelligent weighing device, effectively filtering out signal jitter caused by poultry activity to obtain smooth weight time series data. Based on the RFID unique identifier of each poultry and the data collection time stamp, a spatio-temporal correlation rule is constructed to automatically identify and remove repeated records caused by a single poultry triggering the sensor multiple times in a short time, ensuring the uniqueness and representativeness of the data set. A YOLOv7 deep learning model trained on a large number of poultry images is used to perform real-time target detection and instance segmentation on the images collected by the 3D vision system, accurately separating the adhered or partially occluded poultry individuals, and extracting key morphological feature parameters such as body length and chest width. This technical solution.

[0038] In some implementations, the poultry identification, segmentation and feature extraction of the image data through the target detection algorithm comprises, as shown in Figure 3 ​S31. Construct a target detection model for poultry shape recognition and train it; S32. Perform image segmentation and key point detection on the image data through the trained target detection model to obtain key point coordinates; S33. Perform three-dimensional space coordinate conversion on the key point coordinates based on the camera calibration parameters to obtain three-dimensional coordinates; S34. Calculate the shape parameters of the poultry according to the three-dimensional coordinates.

[0039] It should be noted that the shape parameters include body length, chest width, and tibia length, the calculation method of the body length is to take the vector from the head key point to the torso center key point, and the modulus of the sum of the vector from the torso center key point to the tail key point as the body length of the poultry; the calculation method of the chest width is to take the torso center key point as the reference in the point cloud data of the poultry torso region, fit an ellipse on the plane perpendicular to the body length direction, and take the short axis length of the ellipse as the chest width estimate; and the calculation method of the tibia length is to estimate the tibia length through a regression model according to the spatial distance relationship between the foot key point and the torso key point, combined with the prior knowledge of poultry breeds.

[0040] It should be noted that this technical solution realizes automatic, high-precision, and non-contact measurement from two-dimensional images to three-dimensional shape parameters, not only overcoming the shortcomings of traditional manual measurement, such as low efficiency and easy to cause stress to poultry, but also providing reliable and quantitative data input for subsequent integration of morphological indicators into growth evaluation models.

[0041] For example, the target detection algorithm is based on the HRNet deep learning framework and is trained on a labeled image dataset containing multiple breeds and multiple poses of poultry, forming a special model that can output instance segmentation masks and 24 anatomical key points (such as beak tip, head top, wing root, knee joint, etc.) at the same time; during processing, the model inferences each input image and outputs the contour mask of each poultry and the two-dimensional pixel coordinates of each key point; then, the system uses the internal and external parameters of the binocular camera obtained in advance through the checkerboard calibration method, combined with the triangulation principle and the RANSAC optimization algorithm, to convert the corresponding two-dimensional key point pairs into accurate three-dimensional space coordinates; finally, based on this three-dimensional point cloud data, the system automatically calculates a series of shape parameters of the poultry, such as body length (occipital bone to tail vertebra distance), chest width (left and right shoulder joint distance), tibia length (tarsal joint to toe distance), etc.

[0042] In some implementations, the target detection model also integrates a multi-scale key point attention mechanism; wherein the multi-scale key point attention mechanism includes a scale hierarchical attention branch and a key point correlation attention module. The scale hierarchical attention branch includes several scale attention sub-branches, which are used for dimension reduction processing of channels by standard convolution, extraction of scale features by separable convolution, and generation of scale attention weights by a sigmoid function. The key point correlation attention module is used for generating a core key point correlation matrix based on the anatomical structure of poultry, calculating correlation attention weights by matrix multiplication, and performing weighted summation on key point coordinates based on the correlation attention weights.

[0043] It should be noted that by combining anatomical prior knowledge with adaptive multi-scale learning, the robustness and positioning accuracy of the model for poultry key point detection in complex farming scenarios (such as occlusion, crowding, and variable posture) are effectively improved, thereby providing a more stable and reliable data foundation for subsequent three-dimensional reconstruction and morphological parameter calculation.

[0044] For example, the target detection model uses HRNet as the backbone network and integrates a multi-scale key point attention mechanism. The mechanism includes a scale hierarchical attention branch and a key point correlation attention module: the former extracts scale features under different receptive fields from the feature map through three parallel depth separable convolution layers with expansion rates of 1, 3, and 6, respectively, generates an attention map through a Sigmoid function, and adaptively enhances the feature response to the overall outline and local details (such as the head and legs) of the poultry; the latter constructs a learnable sparse correlation matrix based on the anatomical prior of the spine-torso-limb of poultry, predefines strong correlation groups such as "beak-crown-neck vertebra" and "wing root-thoracic vertebra-knee joint" in the matrix, calculates the correlation weights between the features of each key point through matrix multiplication, and performs weighted fusion on the features, so that the model can significantly refer to the feature information of its anatomically related points (such as the wing root and tarsal joint) when predicting a key point (such as the knee joint).

[0045] In some implementations, the target detection model is optimized and trained using a composite loss function, which includes a coordinate loss, a structure constraint loss, and a scale consistency constraint; The coordinate loss is a traditional mean square error loss, which is used to constrain the deviation of the key point coordinates from the labeled coordinates; The structure constraint loss is constructed based on anatomical structure rules and is used to constrain the relative distances between key points; wherein the expression of the structure constraint loss is: ; in the formula, is the predicted distance between the i th key point and the j th key point output by the target detection model, is the theoretical distance between the i th key point and the j th key point in anatomy; The scale consistency constraint is used to constrain the consistency of the same key point coordinates predicted by different scale feature layers. ; in the formula, is the key point prediction value of the first l layer feature, is the mean value of all key point prediction values, L is the number of scale attention sub-branches.

[0046] It should be noted that by embedding anatomical structure knowledge as a soft constraint into the loss function and forcing the consistency of multi-scale prediction, the model is effectively guided to learn a key point representation that conforms to biological morphology and is scale-robust, significantly improving the prediction accuracy and structural rationality of the model in difficult scenarios such as partial occlusion, severe congestion, or non-standard poses, providing a higher fidelity two-dimensional prediction basis for subsequent three-dimensional reconstruction.

[0047] For example, the mean square error loss is used as the basis for the coordinate loss term; further introduce the structure constraint loss term, which according to the standard poultry anatomical atlas, predefines the theoretical length range of key bone segments such as "neck length" and "trunk length", and constrains the length of the corresponding line segment composed of the predicted key points to conform to the theoretical range in the loss calculation; At the same time, the scale consistency constraint term is added, which calculates the variance between the same key point coordinates predicted by different scale attention branches (such as three branches corresponding to original Figure 1 / 4, 1 / 8, 1 / 16 down-sampling rate) in the model, forcing the features at different receptive fields to reach a consensus on the positioning of the key points.

[0048] S203, establish a multi-dimensional feature vector based on standard data, and obtain a fused feature by weighting and fusing the multi-dimensional feature vector through an attention mechanism.

[0049] In some implementations, the fused feature is obtained in the following manner: The standard data is constructed as a graph structure; wherein the graph structure includes nodes and edges, the nodes represent weight features, morphology features, activity features, and environment features, and the edges represent potential associations between different feature data; The graph structure is input into a graph attention network to perform cross-modal information propagation and fusion by calculating dynamic attention coefficients between nodes; wherein the calculation of the dynamic attention coefficients introduces a conditional context vector composed of a poultry growth stage identifier, and the conditional context vector is encoded by the current growth stage and age information of the poultry; The importance score of the node feature updated by the graph attention network is calculated, and the fused feature is generated by weighted pooling according to the importance score.

[0050] It should be noted that, unlike traditional GAT, by introducing a conditional context vector, which is encoded by the current growth stage identifier of the poultry (classified by a small network from morphological parameters) and time information (such as age), the attention mechanism can dynamically adjust the importance between modalities according to the growth stage of the chicken. For example, in the brooding period, the influence weight of the environmental temperature may be greater; in the fattening period, the weight and the association weight of the morphology may be higher.

[0051] It should be noted that, by introducing a graph structure to represent multi-modal data and using a conditional graph attention mechanism for fusion, the scheme is no longer a simple feature stacking or linear weighting, but realizes the reasoning and learning of complex nonlinear relationships between modalities. This method can more intelligently capture deep relationships such as "how does the decrease in poultry activity under high temperature environment affect its weight gain efficiency", thereby generating more information-rich and more effective fusion features for downstream tasks, significantly improving the performance upper limit of the entire system.

[0052] For example, first, the weight time series features (such as daily weight gain), multi-dimensional morphological features (such as body length, chest width), activity features (such as daily activity frequency), and environmental features (such as temperature and humidity index) obtained after preprocessing are constructed into a heterogeneous graph, where each feature is a node, and the edges between nodes are initialized as a preset weight based on the correlation between feature types (such as morphology and weight, activity and environment). Subsequently, the graph is input into a two-layer graph attention network, which introduces a conditional context vector generated by embedding the current growth stage of the poultry (such as brooding period, growth period) and the specific age, which dynamically modulates the attention calculation through a learnable feedforward network, so that the environmental features are given higher attention in the brooding period, while the association between morphological and weight features is strengthened in the growth period. Finally, the network outputs a fixed-dimensional, deeply fused feature vector through an adaptive weighted pooling layer that integrates the updated features of each node and their importance scores.

[0053] S204, based on the fusion features, using GMM-HMM model and Transformer network for poultry population growth dynamic modeling and trend prediction, and calculating population uniformity evaluation index to obtain analysis results.

[0054] In some implementations, the GMM-HMM model and the Transformer network are used to model the growth dynamics of the poultry population and predict trends, including: The GMM-HMM model is used to construct hidden physiological state data for the poultry, and the state transition probability matrix of the GMM-HMM model is modulated according to the environmental data and the population density; wherein the hidden physiological state data includes health sprint, stable maintenance, stress or sub-health, and compensation growth; The encoded hidden physiological state data and the fusion features are taken as inputs by the Transformer network, and the growth curve and uniformity of the poultry population are predicted through a hierarchical attention mechanism. The meta-learning network is used to dynamically generate the fine-tuning amount of the GMM-HMM model and the Transformer network parameters according to the early data features of the new poultry, so as to realize the rapid adaptation of the model.

[0055] It should be noted that by combining the environment modulated HMM, the time series Transformer and the meta-learning adaptive three, an intelligent growth modeling system is constructed, which can dynamically reflect the influence of breeding conditions, accurately predict long-term trends, and quickly migrate to new production batches, thereby fundamentally solving the problems of large prediction deviation and poor generalization ability of traditional static models, and providing core algorithm support for realizing truly predictive breeding management.

[0056] For example, first, a four-state (healthy sprint, stable maintenance, stress / sub-health, compensation growth) GMM-HMM model is used, and the state transition probability matrix is not fixed, but is dynamically adjusted by a lightweight modulation network according to real-time environmental temperature, humidity and population density calculated based on RFID data, thereby generating a hidden physiological state sequence matched with the current breeding conditions; then, the state sequence and the aforementioned fusion features are encoded and input into a Transformer network with an encoder-decoder structure, the decoder of which uses a hierarchical attention mechanism to focus on short-term growth fluctuations at the bottom layer and capture long-term trends at the high layer, and finally outputs the prediction curve of the population average weight and the uniformity (CU value) change trend in the future M days; in order to adapt to different varieties or batches of poultry, a meta-learning network based on the model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) framework is also introduced, which only needs to analyze the early multi-modal data features of the new poultry in the first week, and can generate a small-scale and targeted gradient update amount for the key parameters of the above GMM-HMM modulation network and Transformer network, so that the basic model can be quickly fine-tuned on a small amount of new data to adapt to the new population.

[0057] In some implementations, the expression of the population uniformity evaluation index is: ; wherein, σ is the standard deviation of the weight of the poultry, μ is the average weight of the poultry; is the Shannon entropy of the state distribution of the poultry population, which is used to measure the degree of chaos of the poultry population in the hidden physiological state distribution, n is any state in the hidden physiological state data, To be in condition for poultry n Probability of occurrence.

[0058] It should be noted that by combining the statistical weight dispersion with the information entropy measure of physiological state distribution disorder, the comprehensive quantitative evaluation of the "apparent weight uniformity" and "intrinsic physiological state uniformity" of the group is creatively realized, so that the index can not only reflect the weight difference, but also sensitively capture the group state differentiation caused by disease latency, environmental stress and other factors, which has not yet been reflected in the weight, providing the grower with an earlier and more in-depth group health and growth consistency warning signal than traditional methods.

[0059] For example, first, based on the hidden physiological state sequence inferred by the GMM-HMM model, the proportion of individuals in each state (health sprint, stable maintenance, stress / sub-health, compensation growth) of the entire poultry group is calculated as a probability distribution to calculate the Shannon entropy H(N), which quantifies the uniformity of the group in physiological state distribution; At the same time, the system calculates the standard deviation σ and the average value μ of the current batch of poultry weight, and obtains the traditional weight uniformity component (1-σ / μ); Finally, a comprehensive group uniformity evaluation index is generated by fusing the Shannon entropy formula.

[0060] S205, generating weight estimation and growth warning signal according to analysis result.

[0061] In some implementations, the generating weight estimation and growth warning signal according to analysis result comprises: Based on the analysis result, the weight-morphology joint estimation is carried out by regression algorithm to obtain the weight estimation; When the growth curve deviates from the preset threshold or the uniformity evaluation index is abnormal, the growth warning signal is triggered.

[0062] It should be noted that by combining the data-driven regression model with the intelligent rule judgment based on dynamic threshold, not only a more stable and anti-interference weight estimation than single weighing is provided, but more importantly, an objective, timely and hierarchical response automatic warning mechanism is established, so that the manager can take intervention measures when the growth curve deviates significantly or the group uniformity deteriorates at the early stage, thereby transforming the traditional lagging management relying on experience observation into precise and preventive management driven by data.

[0063] Exemplarily, first, morphological features (such as body length and chest width) contained in the analysis result and historical weight data are taken as inputs, a gradient boosting regression tree algorithm combined with feature cross terms is used for training and inference, morphological-based weight accurate estimation is realized, and final individual and group weight estimates are output; at the same time, the system compares the predicted growth curve in the analysis result with the preset dynamic threshold band (the threshold band is generated based on the historical optimal growth trajectory quantile under the same breed and breeding mode), monitors whether the comprehensive uniformity evaluation index is continuously lower than the preset warning value for multiple periods, and when any condition is met, the system immediately generates a growth warning signal, which is divided into three levels of "attention" (yellow), "warning" (orange) and "alarm" (red) according to the deviation degree, and is synchronously prompted to the breeding manager through a visual interface and message pushing.

[0064] Based on the above technical solution, the poultry growth intelligent monitoring method based on multi-modal data fusion provided in the application realizes high-precision, full-group continuous evaluation and abnormal early warning of the growth state of the poultry group by fusing multi-modal data and constructing an intelligent analysis model. The system can provide comprehensive evaluation of multi-dimensional indexes such as weight, uniformity, growth trend, etc., significantly improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of monitoring; through dynamic modeling and prediction, early abnormality detection and risk warning are supported, providing real-time and objective data decision support for breeding process management, thereby effectively reducing the dependence on manpower and improving the intelligent level and economic benefits of poultry breeding management.

[0065] In a possible implementation manner, the embodiment of the application further provides a poultry growth intelligent monitoring system based on multi-modal data fusion, comprising: A multi-source data acquisition module comprising an intelligent weighing device, a 3D vision system, an RFID identification system and an environmental sensor array, for acquiring multi-modal data of poultry; A data preprocessing module for filtering, identifying and deduplicating the multi-modal data; A feature fusion module with a neural network based on an attention mechanism for realizing weighted fusion of multi-modal data; A group modeling module with a GMM-HMM model and a Transformer network for growth modeling and trend prediction; An intelligent decision-making module for generating weight estimates and warning information.

[0066] Illustratively, the poultry growth intelligent monitoring system based on multi-modal data fusion, the multi-source data acquisition module is jointly constituted by the intelligent electronic scale deployed at the outlet of the breeding cage, the binocular 3D depth camera installed above the channel, the RFID reader and writer distributed near the feeding trough and water line, and the Internet of Things environment sensing node deployed in the poultry house, realizing synchronous acquisition and uploading of multi-source data; the data preprocessing module runs in the edge computing gateway, adopts Kalman filtering, instance segmentation based on YOLOv7, and RFID deduplication algorithm based on space-time rules, and performs regularization on the original data; the feature fusion module is deployed in the cloud server, adopts a fusion model constructed with a graph attention network as the core, and deeply fuses the weight, shape, activity and environment features after preprocessing; the group modeling module also runs in the cloud, realizes growth dynamic modeling and trend prediction through the cascade of the GMM-HMM model modulated by the environmental conditions and the hierarchical attention Transformer network; the intelligent decision module comprehensively considers the above results, adopts gradient boosting regression tree for weight evaluation, and generates graded early warning according to the comparison result with the dynamic threshold.

[0067] Based on the above technical solutions, the full-link automation from data perception, cleaning, fusion, modeling to decision output is realized, discrete multi-sensor information is converted into continuous and interpretable growth state evaluation and risk warning, an "end-edge-cloud" collaborative integrated intelligent solution is provided for the farm, and the real-time of monitoring, the accuracy of evaluation and the predictability of management are significantly improved.
