Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bird identification and tracking, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle bird identification and tracking device. Background Art

[0002] Through an intelligent bird monitoring system, real-time tracking of birds can be achieved, which helps to understand the migration routes and habitat selection of birds, timely discover abnormal situations, and provide a basis for protection work. For example, through the intelligent spherical cameras deployed in protected areas, automatic cruise capture and intelligent identification of surrounding birds can be carried out. By using artificial intelligence visual recognition and AI edge computing services, the bird images captured by the cameras are segmented and detected and identified. Through deep learning algorithms, the physical features of birds are extracted to achieve multi-target real-time capture and automatic identification and classification of moving birds in the video images. In this way, managers of wetlands and protected areas can clearly report and count the frequencies, quantities, and proportions of various bird populations appearing in different periods and different regions, providing reliable data support for bird dynamic monitoring and development trend analysis.

[0003] The existing bird identification and tracking devices have the following deficiencies:

[0004] 1. Usually, they are fixed-mounted monitoring devices without flight ability and cannot follow birds flying in the air, thus reducing the tracking effect.

The high-definition vehicle-mounted camera 4 is mainly used for monitoring the characteristic appearance of birds or taking pictures during the day to facilitate recognition. The infrared camera 5 is mainly used for monitoring and taking pictures at night to facilitate tracking and recognition. The sound sensor 3 recognizes different birds by capturing and analyzing the sounds of birds to achieve the recognition effect;

[0038] The tracking mechanism is arranged on the outer wall of the UAV 1. The tracking mechanism includes a GPS positioning sensor 8, a rotating assembly 9, two electric grippers 10 and two sliding assemblies 11. The GPS positioning sensor 8 is fixedly arranged on the top of the UAV 1. This device is electrically connected to the PC terminal of the remote terminal. The GPS positioning sensor 8 is used to real-time locate the specific position of the bird, facilitating the staff at the remote terminal to learn the position of the bird on the display of the PC terminal in real time, achieving the tracking effect.

The electric push rod 12 is hinged between the end of the first connecting rod 13 far from the hinge shaft and the bottom of one of the support rods. The electric push rod 12 is electrically connected to the controller. When it is necessary to adjust the photographing or monitoring angle, the electric push rod 12 is started through the controller, so that its output end expands and contracts. Since one end of the first connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the hinge shaft, both the high-definition vehicle-mounted camera 4 and the infrared camera 5 are hinged to the bottom of the turntable 2 through the hinge shaft. The other end of the first connecting rod 13 and the support rod are respectively hinged to both ends of the electric push rod 12, thereby driving the high-definition vehicle-mounted camera 4 or the infrared camera 5 to rotate longitudinally, and then adjusting the monitoring and photographing angles to meet different monitoring or photographing requirements and improving the flexibility of recognition and tracking.

The insertion rod 21 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the slider 20. The insertion rod 21 passes through the guide rail. The electric clamp 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the insertion rod 21. When the rotating shaft 15 rotates, since each slider 20 is slidably connected to one of the guide rails, the rotating wheel 18 is connected to one of the guide rails. A rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected, a rotating wheel 18 and a slider 20 are respectively hinged to the two ends of the second connecting rod 19, an insert rod 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 20, and the insert rod 21 passes through the guide rail, and an electric clamp 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the insert rod 21, thereby driving the electric clamp 10 to descend, and then starting the electric clamp 10 through the controller to clamp the branch, and cooperating with another sliding component 11 to drive another electric clamp 10 to descend and clamp the branch, so that the device can be temporarily connected to the tree to realize the monitoring and tracking of birds at night, thereby achieving 24-hour all-weather uninterrupted identification and tracking.

The stepper motor 22 is electrically connected to the controller. During the day, the high-definition vehicle-mounted camera 4 is used to identify and track birds. When night comes, the stepper motor 22 is started by the controller, thereby driving the first gear 23 to rotate. Since the first gear 23 is meshed and connected with the second gear 24, the second gear 24 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 7, and the turntable 2 is rotatably connected to the L-shaped plate on the drone 1 through the rotating rod 7, thereby driving the turntable 2 to rotate, so that the infrared camera 5 and the high-definition vehicle-mounted camera 4 are exchanged, so as to monitor the perched birds. Both the high-definition vehicle-mounted camera 4 and the infrared camera 5 can take pictures of the birds, and transmit the captured data to the PC end in real time through the controller, so as to facilitate the staff to identify and distinguish the types of birds.
