由于不同大小的猪同时交付导致利润损失，因此对猪进行统一生长的管理是养猪场的重要任务。为此，引进了猪料尺寸自动分选系统。在我们所提出的系统中，相机被用来测量猪的大小。利用摄像机对猪的图像进行检测，利用计算机视觉技术对猪的大小进行估计.估计的大小用于为猪选择足够的食物。介绍了一种新型的清管器导向机构。所提出的机制在养猪场的恶劣环境中稳健地工作。它的效果令人满意，不会干扰农场猪的喂养周期。该系统降低了劳动力成本，并在考虑猪的大小的情况下实现了有效的饲养周期。重量也是根据尺寸估算的。实验结果表明了该方法的有效性。
Since the delivery of different pig sizes at a same time leads to loss profits, the management of pigs to be grown up uniformly is an important task in pig farms. Therefore, automatic sorting system of pigs by size has been introduced. In our proposed system, camera is used to measure the size of pigs. Camera detects the image of a pig and pig’s size is estimated using computer vision technique. The estimated size is used to select the adequate foods for the pig. The novel mechanism that leads the pig to the adequate direction for the feeding is introduced. The proposed mechanism works robustly in the poor environment of a pig farm. It works satisfactorily without disturbing the feeding cycles of pigs in the farms. The system reduces the labor cost and enables the efficient feeding cycles on considering the size of a pig. The weight is also estimated from the size. Experimental result shows the performance of the weight estimation.
