The tracking algorithm for swine plays a pivotal role in efficiently extracting the movement trajectories and quantifying the motion patterns of pigs, thereby serving as an indicator of their physical well-being. Consequently, the task of swine tracking assumes paramount significance. Addressing the issues of low automation, significant error rates, and poor real-time performance in pig tracking, this study introduced a deep learning-based algorithm for swine tracking. It encompasses the development of a pig target detection model based on RetinaNet and introduces an innovative strategy for swine trajectory tracking incorporating time-series information, facilitating real-time tracking of multiple pig targets. The results from algorithm testing demonstrated the effectiveness of the swine target detection algorithm based on RetinaNet, with an AP50 of 0.998, AP75 of 0.907, AP90 of 0.606, and an operational speed of 42.3 tasks per second. This underscored the algorithm's capacity to proficiently detect pig target categories and delineate precise target bounding boxes. In terms of swine target detection, the multi-object trajectory tracking algorithm achieved an average Multi-Object Tracking Precision of 2.37 pixels, equivalent to approximately 1.83 cm in distance. Furthermore, it attained an average Multi-Object Tracking Accuracy of 97.44%, thus substantiating its aptitude for the effective tracking of multiple pig targets with an exceptional level of tracking precision and consistency.
Marker recognition is vital in machine vision and applicable within many fields, such as vehicle automatic guidance, insect pest estimation, and UAV trajectory planning. The influence of illumination and complex backgrounds make such recognition applications very challenging. This paper describes a color Spatio-temporal decomposition algorithm as applied to video images to recognize markers. In the proposed method, the Vectorial Rudin-Osher-Fatemi model weakens the textural component of the image sequences to minimize background complexity for image segmentation. The impact of illumination is reduced by transforming the color space of the obtained image sequences into HSV and equalizing the histogram for the Value channel. Three different types of markers were tested under different light intensities and environments to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm. The proposed method improved the accuracy of edge detection in image segmentation and successfully minimized the interference of illumination. The algorithm also showed favorable good robustness under various vegetation density environments, with a recognition rate of about 95%.
