Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Technology
  • Computer Vision
  • Animal Science

Background:

  • Manual inspection in large-scale pigeon farms is inefficient and lacks real-time localization.
  • Current methods struggle to link detected targets to physical cage locations accurately.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an intelligent inspection and localization system for pigeon farms.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of egg counting and condition assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of a lightweight YOLO model (YOLO-PEDI) with QR-code-based tracking.
  • Utilizing Ghost modules and CBAM for enhanced feature extraction and reduced computational cost.
  • Employing the ByteTrack algorithm for dynamic mapping of video frames to cage locations.

Main Results:

  • The YOLO-PEDI model achieved 98.1% mAP50 with 1.53 million parameters and 0.8 ms inference time.
  • Field tests demonstrated 80.0% cumulative egg-counting accuracy and 98.0% broken egg detection rate.
  • The system enables simultaneous identification of egg number and condition (normal/broken).

Conclusions:

  • The proposed system offers a practical solution for intelligent inspection in pigeon farming.
  • It enhances precise traceability and supports digital production management in poultry.
  • The lightweight and efficient model shows significant potential for automated agricultural applications.
