The invention discloses a method for distinguishing and determining the number of individuals according to
South China subtype field
video monitoring images of Chinese
pangolin, and relates to the technical field of wild animal
infrared camera
video monitoring. According to the invention, high-definition
video monitoring equipment is arranged in the
South China subtype activity area of the Chinese
pangolin, so that the activity image of the
pangolin can be clearly captured. The
video equipment has a
night vision function so as to adapt to the night activity
habit of the pangolin. In addition, the collected video images are preprocessed, including denoising,
contrast enhancement,
color correction and the like, so that the
image quality is improved, and subsequent analysis is facilitated. According to the invention, a
machine learning or
deep learning algorithm is used to carry out individual identification on the preprocessed
video image. This generally involves the extraction and analysis of appearance features (such as scale pattern,
body size, color, etc.) of pangolin to differentiate different individuals. On the basis of individual identification, the number of pangolin individuals appearing in the video is counted. The method can be realized through an automatic counting
algorithm, and can also be combined with manual auditing to improve the statistical accuracy. According to the method, individual identification is carried out through video monitoring, the
population quantity monitoring efficiency is greatly improved, and the quantity statistics accuracy is also improved. The movement information of the pangolin can be obtained in real time, and timely data support is provided for protection work.
