Swine Grunt Analysis through Intensity and Frequency Isolation with Thermography using Adafruit AMG8833 IR Thermal Camera Breakout for Swine Stress Detection and Reduction

摘要

This paper proposed an automated system that captures an infrared image using Adafruit AMG8833 IR Thermal Cameraand record audio via an omnidirectional microphone connected to a sound card and process the data to determine if theswine had experience thermal stress. Temperature together with the frequency and noise intensity of the swine werelogged into the system for the data analysis. After the system detected that swine was under thermal stress, the mistingand ventilation is activated that reduce the amount of heat the swine had experienced. Two test was conducted forcomparison. A controlled setup with the misting and ventilating and an uncontrolled with only the thermal camera andmicrophone. The data gathered proves that maintaining the pig's temperature at normal levels through the help of anautomated sprinkling and ventilating device results to better growth performance.
