AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing devices struggle to reliably acquire fine motion information from aquatic benthic organisms. Light reflection and bottom glare affect the accuracy of motion capture. Environmental switching is inconvenient, and there is a lack of multi-posture recording methods, resulting in poor experimental repeatability and data consistency.

Method used

A multi-type environmental simulation device was designed, including an outer frame, an inner frame, a motion camera, an underwater motion capture camera, supplementary lighting, and a feeding mechanism. It adopts an anti-reflective base plate, a rotatable transparent environmental simulation tank, multiple cameras, and supplementary lighting to achieve multi-view observation and ring light source illumination. Combined with an adjustable feeding mechanism, it can simultaneously record biological behavior and motion data.

Benefits of technology

It improved the recognition rate and positioning accuracy of fine movements of aquatic benthic organisms, reduced environmental interference, enabled rapid switching between multiple environments and attitude adjustment, enhanced the comparability and stability of experimental data, and provided high-quality behavioral and biomechanical research data.
