[0002] Monitoring arthropods

[0003] TECHNICAL AREA

[0004] The present revelation deals with the monitoring of arthropods based on image recordings.

[0005] The subject matter of the present disclosure is a folding sheet, a housing, a system, methods and uses.

[0006] INTRODUCTION

[0007] Approximately two-thirds of currently known animal species belong to the arthropods (phylum Arthropoda), 85% of which are insects. A significant proportion of arthropods are phytophagous: these animals feed on plants and can impair growth, cause damage through sucking and feeding, and transmit viral diseases. This can lead to, for example, substantial losses in yield and quality in crop cultivation.

[0008] EP2210488A2 discloses an insect trap. CN215602745U discloses a fly trap of the trap house type. US2006283075A1 discloses an insect trap with a transparent adhesive film.

[0046] DETAILED REVELATION

[0047] The subject matter of this disclosure is explained in more detail below, without distinguishing between the subject matter of this disclosure (housing, system, folding sheet, process, uses). Rather, the following explanations are intended to apply analogously to all subject matter of the disclosure, regardless of the context in which (housing, system, folding sheet, process, uses) they are described.

[0048] If the present description or the claims specify steps in a sequence, this does not necessarily mean that the disclosure is limited to the specified sequence. Rather, it is conceivable that the steps could also be carried out in a different sequence or even in parallel with one another, unless, for example, one step builds upon another, which requires that the building step be carried out subsequently (this will become clear in the specific case). The specified sequences are therefore exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0049] The subject matter of this disclosure is further explained in some places with reference to drawings. These drawings depict specific embodiments with specific features and combinations of features, primarily for illustrative purposes; this disclosure should not be understood as being limited to the features and combinations of features shown in the drawings. Furthermore, statements made in the description of the drawings with regard to features and combinations of features are intended to be generally applicable, that is, transferable to other embodiments and not limited to the embodiments shown.

[0050] The article "ein" means "one or more," unless preceded by "nur" or "lemiglich." The same applies analogously to the article "eine."

[0051] The expressions ‘based on’ and ‘based on’ mean ‘at least partly based on’, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

[0052] The term “or” is not to be understood as an exclusive “or”, i.e. the expression “A or B” includes “A”, “B” as well as “A and B”.

[0053] The terms used in this disclosure have the meaning they have in the prior art, in particular in the prior art cited in this disclosure.

[0054] One object of the present disclosure is a housing. The housing serves to contain an adhesive surface. The housing defines a volume in which the adhesive surface can be placed. The housing serves to protect the adhesive surface from, for example, precipitation, direct sunlight, dirt, and animals and / or plants larger than arthropods. The housing encompassing the adhesive surface can be used as an adhesive trap for arthropods.

[0055] The adhesive surface serves to immobilize arthropods. The adhesive surface is preferably planar. The adhesive surface can be provided, for example, by a board or card (or other adhesive body) coated with an adhesive, for example, glue. The adhesive surface can be round (e.g., circular), elliptical, triangular, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, octagonal, or generally triangular, where n can be an integer greater than 2. The adhesive surface can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the adhesive surface has the shape of a rectangle, the corners of which may be rounded. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the aspect ratio of the rectangular adhesive surface (with optionally rounded corners) corresponds to the aspect ratio of an image sensor of the image-capturing device.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the adhesive surface has an extent in the range of 100 mm x 200 mm to 200 mm x 250 mm.

[0057] In a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the adhesive surface has an extent in the range of 100 mm x 160 mm to 130 mm x 190 mm.

[0058] In a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the adhesive surface has an extent in the range of 160 mm x 210 mm to 180 mm x 230 mm.

[0059] The housing comprises a base. The adhesive surface is usually placed on the base. Accordingly, the shape of the base typically corresponds to the shape of the adhesive surface (see above). The base is usually larger than the adhesive surface.

[0060] The base can be round (e.g., circular), elliptical, triangular, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, octagonal, or generally "-gonal," where n can be an integer greater than 2. The base can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the base has the shape of a rectangle, the corners of which may be rounded. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the aspect ratio of the rectangular base (with optionally rounded corners) corresponds to the aspect ratio of an image sensor of the image-capturing device.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the base area has a size of 180 mm x 230 mm to 200 mm x 250 mm.

[0062] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the base area has a size of 185 mm x 235 mm to 195 mm x 245 mm.

[0063] The base of the casing is planar. If an adhesive pad is inserted into the casing and the casing, encompassing the adhesive pad, is positioned, for example, in an area where crops are cultivated, to immobilize and / or monitor arthropods in that area, the planar base of the casing is typically horizontally oriented. That is, the surface normal of the base (a vector perpendicular to the base) points in the direction of gravity.

[0064] The housing comprises at least one wall surface. The number of wall surfaces can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more than 10. Typically, the housing comprises at least two wall surfaces. The two wall surfaces can, for example, adjoin the base surface on opposite sides. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing comprises two wall surfaces. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing comprises three wall surfaces. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing comprises four wall surfaces.

[0065] Each wall surface is provided by a wall. The wall surface is usually the area of ​​a wall that is in contact with the interior of the enclosure. However, in this disclosure, a distinction is often not made between wall and wall surface. The terms are largely used synonymously, unless the three-dimensionality of the wall is relevant.

[0066] Typically, the number of wall surfaces increases with the number of corners of the base shape. For example, if the base is round or elliptical, the housing may have a single wall surface that can extend at least partially around the base.

[0067] If the base is rectangular, the base can have one, two, three or four wall surfaces, with each wall surface being able to adjoin a side of the base.

[0068] Typically, each wall surface forms an angle with the base surface in the range of 20° to 160°.

[0069] The angle specifications in this disclosure refer to the angles within the volume defined by the base area, wall surfaces and roof area (interior of the housing).

[0070] In one embodiment, each wall surface of the housing forms an angle with the base surface in the range of 30° to 150°. In another embodiment, each wall surface forms an angle with the base surface in the range of 40° to 140°. In another embodiment, each wall surface forms an angle with the base surface in the range of 50° to 130°. In another embodiment, each wall surface forms an angle with the base surface in the range of 60° to 120°. In another embodiment, each wall surface forms an angle with the base surface in the range of 70° to 110°. In another embodiment, each wall surface forms an angle with the base surface in the range of 80° to 100°. In another embodiment, each wall surface forms an angle with the base surface in the range of 70° to 90°.In another embodiment, each wall surface forms an angle with the base surface in the range of 80° to 90°. In another embodiment, each wall surface forms an angle with the base surface in the range of 90° to 120°. In another embodiment, each wall surface forms an angle with the base surface in the range of 90° to 110°.

[0071] In one embodiment, the base is rectangular and the housing comprises four wall surfaces, two first wall surfaces and two second wall surfaces, wherein the first wall surfaces adjoin opposite sides of the base and the second wall surfaces adjoin the two other opposite sides of the base, wherein the first wall surfaces form an angle of 90° to 110° with the base and wherein the second wall surfaces form an angle of 85° to 95° with the base.

[0072] At least one wall surface of the enclosure may have one or more openings. Such an opening may serve to allow arthropods access to and / or entry into the interior of the enclosure.

[0073] The openings can be of any shape. For example, they can be round (e.g., circular), elliptical, or polygonal, where n can be an integer greater than 2. The openings can also be in the shape of a quadrilateral (e.g., a rectangle) or another polygonal shape, with rounded corners.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, openings in wall surfaces are round (e.g., circular). In another embodiment of the present disclosure, openings in wall surfaces are square (e.g., rectangular), with the corners possibly being rounded.

[0075] The enclosure includes a roof surface. Typically, one or more wall surfaces connect the base to the roof surface. In other words, at least one wall surface borders both the base and the roof surface.

[0076] The base, at least one wall surface, and the roof surface define a volume. This volume is the interior of the enclosure. In other words, the base, at least one wall surface, and the roof surface enclose a volume. In other words, the base, at least one wall surface, and the roof surface delimit a volume from the outside world, with one or more openings in the at least one wall surface allowing arthropods access to the volume within the enclosure.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the roof area is larger than the base area. In one embodiment, the roof area extends beyond at least one wall surface. In one embodiment, the roof area extends beyond at least two wall surfaces. In one embodiment, the roof area extends beyond two wall surfaces that adjoin the rectangular base area on two opposite sides.

[0078] The roof surface comprises three sub-surfaces. At least one of these sub-surfaces is planar and runs parallel to the base. This sub-surface is (arbitrarily) referred to in this description as the first sub-surface. The first sub-surface serves to accommodate an image acquisition device on and / or above it in order to generate images of the interior of the housing (in particular, of an adhesive surface placed on the base of the housing). For this purpose, the first sub-surface is planar. In one embodiment, the first sub-surface is quadrilateral (e.g., rectangular). In another embodiment, the first sub-surface has dimensions ranging from 50 mm x 50 mm to 160 mm x 230 mm.

[0079] In a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the first partial surface has an extent in the range of 50 mm x 120 mm to 120 mm x 230 mm.

[0080] The base and the first section of the roof surface are separated by a distance. This distance can be determined, at least in part, by the shapes and sizes of the wall surfaces and the sections of the roof surface, as well as by the angles between the wall surfaces and the base, between the wall surfaces and the sections of the roof surface, and between the sections of the roof surface themselves. In simplified terms, the wall surfaces contribute, at least in part, to a defined distance between the base and the first section of the roof surface.

[0081] In one embodiment, the distance between the first section of the roof surface and the base is in the range of 5 cm to 20 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the first section and the base is in the range of 6 cm to 20 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the first section and the base is in the range of 7 cm to 20 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the first section and the base is in the range of 7 cm to 19 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the first section and the base is in the range of 7 cm to 18 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the first section and the base is in the range of 7 cm to 17 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the first section and the base is in the range of 7 cm to 16 cm.In another embodiment, the distance between the first partial surface and the base is in the range of 7 cm to 15 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the first partial surface and the base is in the range of 5 cm to 14 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the first partial surface and the base is in the range of 7 cm to 13 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the first partial surface and the base is in the range of 7 cm to 12 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the first partial surface and the base is in the range of 8 cm to 12 cm.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the shape of the first sub-surface corresponds to the shape of the base surface. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first sub-surface has a rectangular shape.

[0083] In one embodiment, the base area is larger than the first sub-area. In another embodiment, the base area is smaller than the first sub-area.

[0084] In one embodiment, two sub-areas of the roof surface adjoin the first sub-area of ​​the roof surface. These sub-areas are arbitrarily referred to in this description as the second sub-area and the third sub-area. In one embodiment, the second and third sub-areas of the roof surface enclose the first sub-area of ​​the roof surface, i.e., they adjoin it on opposite sides. In one embodiment, the first sub-area of ​​the roof surface is rectangular, and the second and third sub-areas of the roof surface adjoin it on two opposite sides (the second sub-area on one of the two opposite sides and the third sub-area on the other of the two opposite sides).

[0085] In one embodiment, the second and third sub-surfaces of the roof surface are flat (planar). In another embodiment, the second and third sub-surfaces of the roof surface are convex outwards when viewed from inside the housing. In yet another embodiment, the second and third sub-surfaces of the roof surface are convex inwards when viewed from inside the housing.

[0086] In one embodiment, the second and third surfaces are flat and each extend at an angle of 5° to 120° to the base. In another embodiment, the second and third surfaces each extend at an angle of 5° to 90° to the base. In another embodiment, the second and third surfaces each extend at an angle of 5° to 60° to the base. In another embodiment, the second and third surfaces each extend at an angle of 5° to 45° to the base. In yet another embodiment, the second and third surfaces each extend at an angle of 5° to 30° to the base.

[0087] In one embodiment, the second and third sub-surfaces of the roof surface are planar, adjoin the rectangular first sub-surface on opposite sides, and each form an angle with the first sub-surface ranging from 90° to 175°. In another embodiment, the second and third sub-surfaces of the roof surface are planar, adjoin the rectangular first sub-surface on opposite sides, and each form an angle with the first sub-surface ranging from 120° to 175°. In yet another embodiment, the second and third sub-surfaces of the roof surface are planar, adjoin the rectangular first sub-surface on opposite sides, and each form an angle with the first sub-surface ranging from 135° to 175°.In one embodiment, the second and third sub-surfaces of the roof surface are planar, adjoin the rectangular first sub-surface on opposite sides, and each form an angle with the first sub-surface in the range of 150° to 175°.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the base, at least one wall surface, and roof surface define a housing (resembling a house) in which the roof has the form of a mansard roof. The first partial surface forms the flat part of the mansard roof.

[0089] The first sub-area provides a surface on or above which an image recording device can be placed.

[0090] The first sub-surface has an opening. In the system described in this disclosure, an image-capturing device is positioned above this opening. The image-capturing device is positioned such that electromagnetic radiation from inside the housing can pass through the opening and reach an image sensor of the image-capturing device. The image-capturing device is positioned such that electromagnetic radiation reflected, scattered, and / or diffracted by the base surface or an adhesive surface (if present) can pass through the opening and reach the image sensor of the image-capturing device. The opening in the first sub-surface thus serves to allow electromagnetic radiation from inside the housing to pass through the opening to the outside (outside the housing).The opening in the first sub-surface therefore serves to allow electromagnetic radiation, which is reflected, scattered and / or diffracted by the base surface or an adhesive surface, to pass through the opening to the outside (outside the housing).

[0091] The opening in the first partial surface can be round (e.g., circular), elliptical, or angular, where n can be an integer greater than 2. If the opening is angular, the corners can be rounded. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the opening is at least partially circular.

[0092] Typically, the image acquisition device is positioned outside the housing on the first partial surface or above the first partial surface, so that the image acquisition device produces images of the interior of the housing "from the outside".

[0093] The housing can be made of paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, glass, and / or a composite material. The base, at least one wall, and / or the roof can be made of the same material or of different materials. In one embodiment, the base, at least one wall, and the roof are made of the same material.

[0094] In one embodiment, the housing is made of a plastic. In another embodiment, the housing is made of a polymer material. In another embodiment, the housing is made of polypropylene.

[0095] In one embodiment, the housing material is at least partially transparent to electromagnetic radiation in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum.

[0096] In one embodiment, at least the material of the housing's roof surface is at least partially transparent to electromagnetic radiation in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The transmittance can be, for example, greater than 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90%.

[0097] The visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum is understood to be the range from 380 nm to 780 nm.

[0098] In one embodiment, the base, wall surfaces, and / or roof surface are made of multi-wall polycarbonate sheets. In another embodiment, the base, wall surfaces, and / or roof surface are made of hollow-core polycarbonate sheets. In yet another embodiment, the base, wall surfaces, and roof surface are made of polypropylene multi-wall sheets.

[0099] In one embodiment, the plates, which are connected to each other by webs, are spaced 1 mm to 6 mm apart. In one embodiment, the webs connecting the plates are spaced 1 mm to 6 mm apart.

[0100] In one embodiment, the plates, which are connected to each other by webs, are spaced 1 mm to 5 mm apart. In one embodiment, the webs connecting the plates are spaced 1 mm to 5 mm apart.

[0101] In one embodiment, the plates, which are connected to each other by webs, are spaced 2 mm to 4 mm apart.

[0102] In one embodiment, the plates and webs have a thickness (wall thickness) of 0.2 mm to 3 mm. In another embodiment, the plates and webs have a thickness (wall thickness) of 0.3 mm to 2 mm. In yet another embodiment, the plates and webs have a thickness (wall thickness) of 0.4 mm to 1 mm.

[0103] In one embodiment, the webs of the web plates run parallel to two sides of the base.

[0104] In the present disclosure, adhesive surface, base surface, wall surfaces, roof surface and partial surfaces are referred to as surfaces - even if they are provided by three-dimensional bodies.

[0105] This term is intended to indicate that the three-dimensional bodies have extensions in two dimensions that are many times larger than the extension in the third dimension.

[0106] The base is therefore a surface that is part of a basic body. The basic body forms the bottom of the enclosure. Each wall surface is part of a wall. The walls form the walls of the enclosure. The roof surface is part of a roof body. The roof body forms the roof of the enclosure. Each sub-surface of the roof is provided by a sub-surface of the roof body. The adhesive surface is part of an adhesive body, for example, a board or card coated with an adhesive (e.g., glue).

[0107] In one embodiment, the base body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 1 mm to 8 mm. In one embodiment, the base body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 7 mm. In one embodiment, the base body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 6 mm. In one embodiment, the base body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 5 mm. In one embodiment, the base body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 3 mm to 6 mm. In one embodiment, the base body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 3 mm to 5 mm. In one embodiment, the roof body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 1 mm to 8 mm. In one embodiment, the roof body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 7 mm. In one embodiment, the roof body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 6 mm. In one embodiment, the roof body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 5 mm.In one embodiment, the roof body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 3 mm to 6 mm. In another embodiment, the roof body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 3 mm to 5 mm.

[0108] In one embodiment, the at least one wall has a thickness in the range of 1 mm to 8 mm. In another embodiment, the at least one wall has a thickness in the range of 2 mm to 7 mm. In another embodiment, the at least one wall has a thickness in the range of 2 mm to 6 mm. In yet another embodiment, the at least one wall has a thickness in the range of 2 mm to 6 mm. In yet another embodiment, the at least one wall has a thickness in the range of 3 mm to 6 mm. In yet another embodiment, the at least one wall has a thickness in the range of 3 mm to 5 mm.

[0109] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing can be produced from a folded sheet. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing can be produced from a folded sheet without adhesive.

[0110] Another subject of the present disclosure is a folding sheet for producing a housing for an adhesive surface.

[0111] A folded arch is a single, cohesive structure. It comprises a flat base, a roof surface, and at least one wall surface.

[0112] When the casing is generated from the folded sheet, the base surface of the folded sheet becomes the base surface of the casing; that is, the base surface of the folded sheet corresponds to the base surface of the casing (and has the properties of the base surface of the casing described in this disclosure). Similarly, when the casing is generated from the folded sheet, the roof surface of the folded sheet becomes the roof surface of the casing; that is, the roof surface of the folded sheet corresponds to the roof surface of the casing (and has the properties of the roof surface of the casing described in this disclosure). This applies analogously to the first, second, and third partial surfaces of the folded sheet. Each wall surface of the folded sheet corresponds to a wall surface of the casing. Each wall surface of the folded sheet becomes a wall surface of the casing when the casing is generated from the folded sheet.Therefore, the number of wall surfaces of the folded sheet corresponds to the number of wall surfaces of the housing and vice versa.

[0113] The base, roof, and at least one wall surface are connected by folds. In other words, the folded sheet is divided into several sub-sheets by folds. The folded sheet can be folded along these folds to change the angles between the sub-sheets.

[0114] In one embodiment, all folds run along straight lines.

[0115] In one embodiment, all folds run parallel or perpendicular to each other.

[0116] In its original state, adjacent partial sheets enclose an angle of 180°, so that the folded sheet as a whole is a flat structure. In one embodiment, the folded sheet has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 1 mm to 8 mm. In another embodiment, the folded sheet has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 7 mm. In another embodiment, the folded sheet has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 6 mm. In another embodiment, the folded sheet has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 5 mm. In another embodiment, the folded sheet has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 3 mm to 6 mm.

[0117] In one embodiment, the folding arch is made from a polypropylene sheet.

[0118] In one embodiment, the plates, which are connected to each other by webs, are spaced 1 mm to 6 mm apart. In one embodiment, the webs connecting the plates are spaced 1 mm to 6 mm apart.

[0119] In one embodiment, the plates, which are connected to each other by webs, are spaced 1 mm to 5 mm apart. In one embodiment, the webs connecting the plates are spaced 1 mm to 5 mm apart.

[0120] In one embodiment, the plates, which are connected to each other by webs, are spaced 2 mm to 4 mm apart.

[0121] In one embodiment, the plates and webs have a thickness (wall thickness) of 0.2 mm to 3 mm. In another embodiment, the plates and webs have a thickness (wall thickness) of 0.3 mm to 2 mm. In yet another embodiment, the plates and webs have a thickness (wall thickness) of 0.4 mm to 1 mm.

[0122] In one embodiment, the webs run parallel to two sides of the base.

[0123] In one embodiment, the base, at least one wall surface and / or roof surface are separated from each other by folds.

[0124] The base is separated from at least one wall surface by at least one fold. In other words, a fold runs between the base and at least one wall surface, along which the angle between the base and the wall surface can be changed. In other words, the base is connected to a wall surface via a fold.

[0125] The wall surface which is connected to the base surface via a fold is arbitrarily referred to in this disclosure as the first wall surface.

[0126] In one embodiment, the folded sheet comprises exactly two wall surfaces. In another embodiment, the folded sheet comprises exactly three wall surfaces. In another embodiment, the folded sheet comprises exactly four wall surfaces.

[0127] The roof surface of the folding arch comprises three sub-areas: a first sub-area, a second sub-area, and a third sub-area. The first sub-area of ​​the folding arch's roof surface corresponds to the first sub-area of ​​the housing's roof surface. The second sub-area of ​​the folding arch's roof surface corresponds to the second sub-area of ​​the housing's roof surface. The third sub-area of ​​the folding arch's roof surface corresponds to the third sub-area of ​​the housing's roof surface.

[0128] The second section of the roof surface of the folded arch is connected to the first wall surface via a fold.

[0129] The first section of the roof surface of the folded arch is connected to the second section of the roof surface of the folded arch via a fold. The third section of the roof surface of the folded arch is connected to the first section of the roof surface of the folded arch via a fold.

[0130] In one embodiment, the fold between the second partial surface of the roof surface and the first wall surface runs parallel to the fold between the second partial surface of the roof surface and the first partial surface of the roof surface.

[0131] In one embodiment, the fold between the second partial surface of the roof surface and the first partial surface of the roof surface runs parallel to the fold between the first partial surface of the roof surface and the third partial surface of the roof surface.

[0132] The at least one wall surface can have one or more openings. Arthropods can enter the interior of the housing produced from the folded sheet through these openings. Furthermore, the first partial surface has an opening through which an image-capturing device can take images of the interior of the housing produced from the folded sheet from the outside.

[0133] The openings can be created, for example, by punching out sections in the folded sheet.

[0134] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the openings are predefined by perforations and / or punches and / or notches, so that the openings can be easily created by a user by pushing out the parts enclosed by the perforations and / or punches and / or notches. The terms perforations, punches, and notches are to be interpreted broadly and also include other techniques suitable for defining parts in a folded sheet that can be removed from the folded sheet by pushing them out. As a further example, cuts may be mentioned that can be produced, for example, by a sharp object (e.g., a knife) or by a laser.

[0135] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, perforations and / or punchings and / or notches are present, defining potential openings of different sizes, so that a user can choose between different sized openings.

[0136] In one embodiment, perforations and / or punches and / or notches define nested areas of different sizes within the folded sheet. That is, a first perforation and / or punch and / or notch defines a first area of ​​the folded sheet, and surrounding this first area is a second perforation and / or punch and / or notch, defining a second area, the second area encompassing the first area. It is possible that a third perforation and / or punch and / or notch is present around the second area, defining a third area, the third area encompassing the second area (and thus also the first area). It is possible that a fourth perforation and / or punch and / or notch is present around the third area, defining a fourth area, the fourth area encompassing the third area (and thus also the second and first areas).And so on. The areas defined by the perforations and / or die-cuts and / or notches define parts that can be removed from the folded sheet by pushing them out. Removing such a part creates an opening. The opening created by pushing out the part defined by the first area is smaller than the opening created by pushing out the part defined by the second area. The opening created by pushing out the part defined by the second area is smaller than the opening created by pushing out the part defined by the third area. And so on.In one embodiment, tabs and slots for tabs (or perforations and / or punches and / or notches defining potential slots for tabs) are provided, which make it possible to create the housing from the folded sheet without the need for adhesives to fix the parts of the folded sheet.

[0137] Another subject of the present disclosure is a method for producing a housing from a folded sheet. The method comprises the steps:

[0138] - Providing the folded sheet,

[0139] - Creating the housing.

[0140] The folded sheet, as described, is a single, continuous structure and comprises: a flat base, a roof, at least one wall surface, wherein the roof surface comprises three sub-surfaces, a first sub-surface, a second sub-surface and a third sub-surface, wherein a first wall surface adjoins the base via a fold, wherein the second sub-surface adjoins the first wall surface via a fold, wherein the first sub-surface adjoins the second sub-surface via a fold, wherein the third sub-surface adjoins the first sub-surface via a fold, wherein the first sub-surface comprises an opening and / or a perforation and / or punching and / or notching to create an opening.

[0141] The housing comprises the flat base surface of the folded sheet and the roof surface of the folded sheet. The housing also comprises at least one wall surface of the folded sheet.

[0142] When producing the housing from the folded sheet, the base, the roof surface and the at least one wall surface of the folded sheet are arranged by folding along the folds in such a way that the at least one wall surface, the base and the roof surface define a volume, the first partial surface of the roof surface runs parallel to the base surface, and the second partial surface and the third partial surface of the roof surface run at an angle of 5° to 120° to the base surface.

[0143] When creating the housing from the folded sheet, parts that define openings can be removed by pushing them out of the sheet, thus creating openings. However, it is also possible that the openings are already present in the folded sheet.

[0144] Another subject of the present disclosure is a further process.

[0145] This process includes the following steps:

[0146] - Providing the housing of the present disclosure,

[0147] - Placing an adhesive surface on the flat base of the housing,

[0148] Placing an image capture device above the opening of the first partial surface of the roof surface outside the housing.

[0149] The housing can, for example, be produced from the folded sheet of the present disclosure (see above). Parts defining openings can be removed from the folded sheet by pushing them out, thus creating openings. However, it is also possible that the openings are already present in the folded sheet.

[0150] The adhesive surface is placed on the flat base inside the housing. It is possible that the adhesive surface and / or the adhesive body providing the adhesive surface is colored to attract (specific) arthropods. It is possible that the adhesive surface and / or the adhesive body providing the adhesive surface is patterned to attract (specific) arthropods. It is possible that, in addition to or instead of a color and / or pattern, another attractant is used to attract (specific) arthropods. Such an attractant could, for example, be a pheromone.

[0151] The procedure can include, as a further step, placing an attractant (e.g., a pheromone) inside the casing.

[0152] An image recording device is placed above the first section of the roof surface.

[0153] The image acquisition device can be used to generate digital images of the adhesive surface or a portion thereof. The generated images can be used (i) to detect whether one or more arthropods are present in the imaged area (arthropod detection), (ii) to determine the position of an arthropod in the image (arthropod localization), (iii) to count arthropods in the imaged area, and / or (iv) to identify arthropods, i.e., to determine which arthropod (e.g., subclass, superorder, order, suborder, family, genus, species, stage, beneficial organism, pest) is present.

[0154] The image recording device comprises one or more cameras.

[0155] A "camera" is a device or system designed to capture and record images of objects and / or phenomena. A camera uses, for example, electromagnetic radiation, sound waves, or other physical processes that can be visually represented. The camera converts received signals (e.g., optical or acoustic) into other signals (e.g., electrical) and / or data that can be stored, processed, displayed, and / or transmitted. The term "camera" encompasses devices that operate with all media or technologies, including analog and digital, optical, electronic, chemical, or other methods of image acquisition.The term "camera" encompasses a wide range of devices including, but not limited to, still cameras, video cameras, thermal imaging cameras, radar systems, ultrasound imaging devices, electron microscopes and all future technologies that can perform the function of image acquisition.

[0156] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the camera is an optical camera. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the camera is a digital camera. A digital camera is configured to produce digital images.

[0157] Digital images can be processed, edited, and reproduced using computer systems and programs, as well as converted into standardized data formats such as JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group graphics format), PNG (Portable Network Graphics), or SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). Digital images can be visualized using suitable display devices, such as computer monitors, projectors, and / or printers.

[0158] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the camera is a digital camera that electrically generates two-dimensional images from light using one or more image sensors. These are typically semiconductor-based image sensors such as CCD (charge-coupled device) or CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors. Optical elements such as lenses, apertures, and the like serve to achieve the sharpest possible image of arthropods in the collecting area on the image sensor.

[0159] To image the adhesive surface onto one or more image sensors, a light source is required to illuminate the adhesive surface so that light (electromagnetic radiation in the infrared, visible, and / or ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum) is scattered / reflected / diffracted from the illuminated adhesive surface towards the image sensor. Daylight entering the housing through partially transparent walls, the roof, and / or openings can be used for this purpose. Alternatively, a dedicated lighting unit can be used to provide defined illumination independent of daylight. This unit can be integrated into the image acquisition device and, for example, mounted to the side of a camera lens, preventing the camera lens from casting a shadow on the adhesive surface. A lighting unit is a source of electromagnetic radiation.

[0160] It is also conceivable to position a lighting unit below and / or next to the adhesive surface, illuminating the collection area "from below" and / or "from the side", while a camera produces one or more images "from above".

[0161] It is conceivable that several light sources illuminate the adhesive surface from different directions.

[0162] The terms "light" and "illumination" should not be interpreted as meaning that the spectral range is limited to visible light (approximately 380 nm to approximately 780 nm). It is equally conceivable that electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength below 380 nm (ultraviolet light: 100 nm to 380 nm) and / or above 780 nm (infrared light: 780 nm to 1000 pm) is used for illumination. The image sensor and the optical elements of the camera are typically adapted to the electromagnetic radiation used.

[0163] The image acquisition device is typically placed outside the housing. It is positioned above the opening in the first surface area such that electromagnetic radiation reflected, scattered, and / or bent by the adhesive surface passes through the opening and onto an image sensor of the device.

[0164] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the image acquisition device is mechanically connected to the housing. In one embodiment, the mechanical connection is reversible, i.e., it can be disconnected and then reconnected.

[0165] In one embodiment, the image acquisition device is mechanically connected to the housing via a connecting element. In other words, the housing can be mechanically connected to a connecting element, and the image acquisition device can be mechanically connected to the connecting element. Once the housing and image acquisition device are mechanically connected to the connecting element, the connecting element ensures that the housing and image acquisition device are aligned and fixed relative to each other in a defined manner. In other words, the connecting element establishes a mechanical connection between the housing and the image acquisition device. Once the image acquisition device is in place, the system comprising the housing, the adhesive surface, and the image acquisition device constitutes a system for monitoring arthropods. This system is a further aspect of the present invention.

[0166] “Arthropods” are a diverse group of invertebrate animals belonging to the phylum Arthropoda.

[0167] Arthropods play an important role in ecosystems as pollinators, decomposers, and / or as part of the food web. They can also be of economic importance, both beneficial (e.g., pollination, silk production) and detrimental (e.g., as pests in agriculture, vectors of diseases).

[0168] Arthropods are divided into several groups (subphyla and classes), including insects and arachnids.

[0169] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to insects and arachnids.

[0170] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to insects.

[0171] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to adult insects.

[0172] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to insects in the form of caterpillars.

[0173] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to arachnids.

[0174] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to mites.

[0175] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to pests of crops.

[0176] The term "monitoring" usually means that the presence of one or more arthropods in an area (e.g., in a field for cultivating crops) can be detected using the system of the present disclosure.

[0177] Arthropods that enter the interior of the housing, for example accidentally or because they were attracted by a lure, are immobilized by the adhesive surface. Using the image acquisition device, an image of the adhesive surface and the arthropods located on it can be generated.

[0178] The image acquisition device can be configured to generate one or more images of the adhesive surface at defined times and / or at defined time intervals and / or upon the occurrence of defined events.

[0179] The image capture device may have a transmitter. The transmitter may be designed to transmit information to a separate computer system via a mobile network (e.g., GSM: Global System for Mobile Communications, GPRS: General Packet Radio Service, UMTS: Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, LTE: Long Term Evolution), via WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), via Bluetooth, via DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications), via a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN or LPN) such as a narrowband IoT network, and / or via a combination of different transmission methods.

[0180] The transmitting unit can be designed to transmit information via a short-range radio connection (e.g., Bluetooth) to a base station, from which the information is then forwarded via cable and / or a long-range radio connection (e.g., a mobile network).

[0181] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the transmitting unit comprises a modem and an antenna for transmitting information via a GSM, GPRS, 2G, 3G, LTE, 4G, 5G, 6G mobile network or via another mobile network.

[0182] The images can be analyzed. Such analysis can include detecting, locating, identifying, and / or counting arthropods in the images.

[0183] Another subject of the present disclosure is a use of a system for monitoring arthropods, the use of which includes:

[0184] - Providing the housing of the present disclosure,

[0185] - Placing an adhesive surface on the flat base of the housing,

[0186] Placing an image capture device above the opening of the first partial surface of the roof surface outside the housing,

[0187] Generating one or more images of the adhesive surface using the image capture device.

[0188] The use may also include:

[0189] - Placing an attractant (e.g. a pheromone) inside the casing.

[0190] The use may also include:

[0191] - Transmitting one or more image captures to a separate computer system.

[0192] The use may also include:

[0193] - Detecting and / or locating and / or identifying and / or counting one or more arthropods in one or more image images.

[0494] The subject matter of the present disclosure will be explained in more detail below with reference to drawings, without intending to limit the disclosure to the features and combinations of features shown in the drawings.

[0495] Fig. 1 schematically shows an embodiment of the housing of the present disclosure.

[0496] Fig. 1 shows the housing from different perspectives. Fig. 1(a) shows the housing from below; Fig. 1(b) shows the housing from the front; Fig. 1(c) shows the housing from a side; and Fig. 1(d) shows the housing from above. The base and roof sections define what is meant by "below" and "above": The base forms the bottom of the housing and therefore constitutes a lower part of the housing. In the case of Fig. 1(a), the viewer is located below the housing and looks down towards the bottom of the housing. The roof section forms the roof of the housing and therefore constitutes an upper part of the housing. In the case of Fig. 1(d), the viewer is located above the roof and looks down at the roof. In the case of Fig. 1(b), the view of an opening within a wall of the housing has been arbitrarily designated as the front view. The rear view is shown in Fig.Figure 1(c) does not show the rear view; it is possible that the rear view corresponds to the front view. In the case of Figure 1(c), the view of a wall and an adjoining partial surface of the roof has been arbitrarily designated as a side view (view from one side). Figure 1 does not include a view from the other side; it is possible that the view from the other side corresponds to the side view shown in Figure 1(c).

[0497] The housing (10) shown in Fig. 1 comprises a base body with a flat base (11). The flat base (11) is rectangular. Two walls with surface areas (13-1) and (13-2) adjoin the base (11) on two opposite sides. Furthermore, another wall with surface area (13-3) is shown in Fig. 1(b), which has an opening (14). Arthropods can enter the interior of the housing (10) through this opening (14).

[0498] Each wall surface (13-1, 13-2) adjoins a partial surface (12-2, 12-3) of the roof surface. The roof surface is provided by the roof structure. Partial surface (12-2) adjoins wall surface (13-1); partial surface (12-3) adjoins wall surface (13-2). The roof surface comprises a total of three partial surfaces: a first partial surface (12-1), a second partial surface (12-2), and a third partial surface (12-3). The first partial surface (12-1) is enclosed by the second partial surface (12-2) and the third partial surface (12-3). The first partial surface (12-1) is flat and runs parallel to the base surface (11) at a distance from it. The second partial surface (12-2) and the third partial surface (12-3) are also flat. They each run at an angle of between 5° and 120° to the base surface (11). The angles are shown in Fig. 3. The roof surface projects beyond the wall surface (13-3) of the housing.The wall opposite the wall surface (13-3) is also surpassed by the roof surface.

[0499] An opening (15) is provided in the first sub-surface (12-1). Electromagnetic radiation from the interior of the housing (10) can escape through this opening (15).

[0500] Fig. 2 shows another embodiment of the housing of the present disclosure.

[0501] Fig. 2 shows the housing (10) in a perspective view from the front and obliquely from above. The housing (10) shown in Fig. 2 corresponds to the housing (10) shown in Fig. 1, with the difference that the wall with the wall surface (13-3) is not present and / or not shown in the case of Fig. 2.

[0502] Figure 2 shows that the base (11), the wall surfaces (13-1, 13-2), and the partial surfaces (12-1, 12-2, 12-3) of the roof define a volume. This volume is the interior of the housing (10). This interior is bounded by the base (11), the wall surfaces (13-1, 13-2), and the partial surfaces (12-1, 12-2, 12-3).

[0503] Inside, on the base surface (11), there is an adhesive surface (20). This is not usually part of the housing (10), but can be inserted into and removed from the housing (10).

[0504] Fig. 2 shows that the adhesive surface (20) has the same shape as the base surface (11) (flat, rectangular), with the adhesive surface (20) being smaller than the base surface (11).

[0505] Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of the housing of the present disclosure. The housing (10) shown in Fig. 3 corresponds to the housing (10) shown in Fig. 1(b) in the front view, with the difference that the wall with the wall surface (13-3) is not present and / or not shown in the case of Fig. 3.

[0506] Fig. 3 shows that the first partial area (12-1) of the roof surface runs parallel to the base surface (11) at a distance A.

[0507] The second sub-surface (12-2) of the roof surface forms an angle α with the base surface (11). The angle α lies in the range of 5° to 120°. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the angle α is less than 90°. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the angle α lies in the range of 40° to 60°. Since the housing shown in Fig. 3 is symmetrical, the angle between the third sub-surface (12-3) and the base surface (11) corresponds to the angle α. The angle 5 between the first sub-surface (12-1) and the second sub-surface (12-2) is related to the angle α; it follows that: α + 5 = 180°.

[0508] The angle β between the second wall surface (13-2) and the base surface (11) is typically in the range of 20° to 160°. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the angle β is greater than 90°. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the angle β is in the range of 120° to 140°.

[0509] Since the housing shown in Fig. 3 is symmetrical, the angle between the first wall surface (12-1) and the base surface (11) corresponds to the angle β.

[0510] Fig. 4 schematically shows an embodiment of the folding sheet of the present disclosure.

[0511] The folded sheet (1) is a single-piece, continuous, planar structure. The folded sheet (1) comprises a base (11). The base (11) has a rectangular shape; on one side of the base (11) are tabs (18-3, 18-4) which serve to fix the parts of the folded sheet (1) when a housing is created from the folded sheet (1). The base (11) of the folded sheet (1) forms the base of the resulting housing. Two wall surfaces (13-3, 13-4) adjoin the base (11) on two opposite sides.

[0512] The base (11) is connected to the wall surfaces (13-3, 13-4) via two folds. Folds are shown by dashed lines in Fig. 4. Punches, perforations, and / or notches (16-1) are provided in each of the wall surfaces (13-3, 13-4), allowing the portion of the wall surface surrounded by the punches, perforations, and / or notches (16-1) to be removed by pushing them out, thus creating an opening. Arthropods can enter the interior of the housing, to which the folded sheet (1) can be assembled, through such an opening.

[0513] Punches, perforations and / or notches are shown in Fig. 4 by dotted lines.

[0514] The wall surfaces (13-3, 13-4) have tabs (18-1, 18-2). For clarity, only the tabs (18-1, 18-2) of the wall surface (13-3) are labelled in Fig. 4.

[0515] Adjoining another side of the base (11) is a further wall surface (13-1), which in this disclosure is referred to as the first wall surface. The base (11) is connected to the first wall surface (13-1) by a fold. The first wall surface (13-1) has cutouts, perforations, and / or notches (16-2) that allow parts of the first wall surface (13-1) to be removed to create an opening. In the case of the first wall surface (13-1), a user can decide whether to remove the smaller, inner part or the larger part. This allows the user to choose the size of the resulting opening.

[0516] Adjoining the first wall surface (13-1) is a partial surface (12-2) of the roof surface. This partial surface (12-2) is referred to in this disclosure as the second partial surface. The second partial surface (12-2) is connected to the first wall surface (13-1) by a fold. The fold is located on the opposite side of the first wall surface (13-1) where the first wall surface (13-1) connects to the base surface (11).

[0517] All folds shown in Fig. 4 run parallel or perpendicular to each other. Slots are provided in the second partial surface (12-2). For clarity, only one slot (17-1) is labeled. When assembling the folded sheet into a housing, the tab (18-1) of the wall surface (13-3) can be inserted into the slot (17-1) to mechanically connect the wall surface (13-3) to the second partial surface (12-2).

[0518] The second sub-area (12-2) is adjoined by another sub-area (12-1) of the roof surface, which is referred to in this disclosure as the first sub-area.

[0519] The first sub-surface (12-1) comprises a punch, perforation, and / or notch (15-1). The portion of the first sub-surface (12-1) surrounded by the punch, perforation, and / or notch (15-1) can be detached from the first sub-surface (12-1), creating an opening. An image acquisition device can be placed above and / or within this opening.

[0520] The first section (12-1) is adjoined by a third section (12-3) of the roof surface. The first section (12-1) is connected to the third section (12-3) via a fold.

[0521] The third sub-area (12-3) is structured like the second sub-area (12-2); in other words, the third sub-area (12-3) corresponds to the second sub-area (12-2).

[0522] The third partial surface (12-3) is adjoined by another wall surface (13-2). The wall surface (13-2) corresponds to the first wall surface (13-1).

[0523] An end piece (19) adjoins the wall surface (13-2). The end piece (19) is connected to the wall surface (13-2) via a fold. Two slots (17-3, 17-4) are provided in the fold, into which the tabs (18-3, 18-4) of the base surface (11) can be inserted.

[0524] Fig. 5 schematically shows an embodiment of an image acquisition device. The image acquisition device (30) is shown from below in Fig. 5(a), from the front in Fig. 5(b), from the side in Fig. 5(c), and from above in Fig. 5(d). The image acquisition device (30) is oriented as it is used in the system for monitoring arthropods (see Fig. 6).

[0525] The image acquisition device (30) comprises a body (31) that serves as a housing for a camera. The body (31) has an opening into which a camera lens (32) is inserted. Next to the camera lens (32) is a lighting unit (33) in the form of a flash LED (LED: light-emitting diode). A solar module (34) is also integrated into the body (31) to charge a battery located inside the body (31) (and therefore not visible in Fig. 5).

[0526] Fig. 6 schematically shows an embodiment of the system of the present disclosure for monitoring arthropods.

[0527] The system comprises a housing (10), which is the same housing shown in Fig. 2. The system also includes an adhesive surface (20) embedded in the housing (10). Furthermore, the system comprises an image acquisition device (30), which is the same image acquisition device shown in Fig. 5. The image acquisition device (30) is mounted on the first partial surface (12-1) of the roof surface. The camera lens of the image acquisition device (30) is positioned above the opening in the first partial surface (12-1) of the roof surface, so that electromagnetic radiation reflected, scattered, and / or diffracted by the adhesive surface (20) can pass through the opening and the camera lens and reach an image sensor of the image acquisition device. This can be seen by comparing Figures 2, 5, and 6.
