Description

1 TARIFF DETECTING HONEY BEES USING IMAGE PROCESSING AND COLOR ANALYSIS. AND A SMART BEEHIVE THAT KEEPS WASTE OF WASTE BEES. Technical Area The invention supports image processing and color analysis for the protection of honeybee colonies. It relates to a smart hive system that detects and repels wasps. State of the Art In beekeeping activities, there are numerous mechanical, electronic, and other methods for protecting honey bees. An automated system has been developed. Especially in recent years, for wasps (Vespa spp.) and hornets. and the increasing damage caused to honeybee colonies by other predatory insects, the hive Various solutions have emerged to protect the entrances. The patents numbered KR101966058B1 and KR20190023220A, found in the patent literature, are related to the "Hornet Shut-" In inventions titled "Off Access Device for Beehive," the devices are designed to prevent wasps from approaching the hive entrance. detection with the help of sensors and closing of the entrance opening using mechanical closing elements The control process is explained. In these systems, the hive entrance is physically closed. The basis for this is the classification of target organisms through image processing and color analysis. This is not the issue. Furthermore, it concerns the removal of foreign insects without causing harm. There is no directed compressed air system. Titled "Anti-Predator Device for Beehive" with registration numbers WO2020127966A1 and US12250928B2 The patents, on the other hand, include various tunnels designed to prevent predatory insects from reaching the hive entrances. Structures, access mechanisms, and protective mechanical systems have been defined. These solutions... It is based primarily on the principle of creating a physical barrier and is supported by image processing. It does not include live recognition and channel-based active removal mechanisms. "System, Method, and Apparatus for Active Pest Denial, Apiary" numbered US12458000 The patent, titled "Monitoring and Management," uses image and sound sensors. Classification of insects and prevention of entry of organisms identified as pests. It is explained. However, in the system in question, the harmful organisms are neutralized. Mechanisms are being used that do not harm honey bees, only 2 Duct-based selective air that enables their removal by directed compressed air. The spray structure is not described. Scientific studies also focus on monitoring hive entrances using image processing techniques. There are applications. For example, using stereo imaging to monitor honeybee hives. tracking their movements at the entrance and hives with deep learning-based systems Studies have been published on detecting pests at entry points. However, this The primary purpose of the studies is monitoring, counting, and analyzing the detected pests in real time. It cannot be removed through physical intervention. It is also used in various commercial and research projects with camera, microphone, and AI-based analysis. using these methods to detect wasps and warn beekeepers. This is the aim. However, these systems generally serve the functions of monitoring and alarm generation. It does not perform channel-based compressed air application specific to the identified target. Consequently, in current technical solutions, image processing data and color sensor data... joint evaluation, independent monitoring of each entry channel, foreign organisms Determining the channel-by-channel approach, applying compressed air only to the relevant channel, The system is powered by solar energy and event logs are stored via a wireless communication module. a system that offers all the features of remote reporting in one place There are none. Therefore, current technical solutions that increase the safety of honey bees, This shows that there is a need for a new, environmentally friendly and autonomous protection system. Purpose of the Invention The aim of this invention is to eliminate wasps and other foreign creatures that are natural enemies of honeybees. Image processing and color analysis technologies prevent insects from entering the hive. using controlled compressed air to detect the target organism in real time. A smart protection system that removes live animals from the hive area without harming them. The goal is to improve the system. The invention also features a solar-powered system capable of keeping event logs and measuring attack intensities. an autonomous system that can analyze and transmit information remotely to the beekeeper via wireless communication It aims to provide a security system.

The entrance channels of the hive where honey bees enter and exit (2) These channels are available. Each of these channels is designed to be viewed independently. At the top of each channel there is a camera (5) and a color sensor (6) that monitors the respective channel. Cameras (5) continuously monitor the entrance area and the resulting image It transmits its data to the microcontroller board (8). At the same time, the color sensors (6) also transmit from the channel. It measures the color information of organisms passing through or approaching the channel. The image processing software running on the microcontroller board(8) processes the camera(5) images. It analyzes in real time. During the analysis, the body length of the organisms, the body width, color distribution, wing structure, direction of movement, flight speed, wing flapping characteristics, and Behavioral characteristics are evaluated. In addition, the information obtained from color sensors (6) Using this data, the characteristic color profiles of living organisms are determined.
