Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this utility model belong to the field of termite monitoring technology, and more specifically, relate to a visual termite monitoring and extermination device and system based on image recognition. Background Technology

[0002] Termites are one of the major pests damaging lawns, trees, and buildings. Controlling termite populations is essential to protect the integrity of buildings and crops. To reduce environmental damage, integrated pest management (IPM) has been introduced into termite control. The main purpose of IPM is to reduce pesticide use and protect the environment. However, IPM requires prior termite monitoring to obtain infestation information, enabling extermination personnel to determine the optimal time for extermination. Traditional termite monitoring methods require personnel to conduct on-site surveys and install monitoring boxes, which are then excavated for observation after a period of time, resulting in poor timeliness. Furthermore, traditional termite monitoring systems struggle to pinpoint termite nest locations based on infestation data. During extermination, pesticides are often placed in multiple monitoring boxes, leading to waste and increased pressure on urban ecosystems from toxic chemicals.

[0003] Currently, there is a termite monitoring device on the market, which includes an image acquisition module, an image processing module, an image transmission module, a feature extraction module, an approximate recognition module, a server, and an infrared counting camera installed at the bottom of the termite collection funnel. The image acquisition module is connected to the server through the image transmission module. The feature extraction module is used to identify the winged reproductive termite area in the image processing module, obtain the outline of the winged reproductive termite, and preliminarily determine the species of winged reproductive termites by comparison. Using the winged reproductive termite feature set obtained in the early training, the captured insects are identified and automatically counted to determine their species and quantity and store them on the server.

[0004] This termite monitoring device can identify and count the winged reproductive termites it traps, reducing the labor costs associated with manually identifying and counting termites. However, this device only monitors termites and cannot automatically exterminate them. Therefore, there is a need for a visual termite monitoring and extermination device and system based on image recognition, which can monitor termites entering the device in real time and automatically exterminate them when detected.

The barrel lid includes a lower lid 2 and an upper lid 3. The barrel body 1 has multiple termite passageways connecting the interior of the barrel body to the external environment. A cavity is provided between the lower lid 2 and the upper lid 3, and a control component, a power supply component, a monitoring component, and an extermination component are housed within this cavity. After termites enter the interior space of the barrel body through the termite passageways, the monitoring component takes pictures of the termites entering the barrel body 1 using image recognition, uploads the pictures to the control component, and the control component identifies the content in the pictures, comparing the morphology of the termites to monitor them. After the control component detects termites in the pictures, it marks the locations containing the termites in the pictures and transmits the marked pictures back to the control room, realizing real-time monitoring of termites.

[0048] The extermination component contains pesticide powder. When termites are detected, the control component controls the extermination component to spray the pesticide powder to disinfect the termites.

[0049] The lower cover 2 is detachably connected to the top of the barrel body 1, and a sealing ring is provided between the connection between it and the upper cover 3 to prevent moisture from seeping into the cavity of the two in the outdoor environment and damaging the electronic components therein.
