Under the working conditions of aero-engine, the three-dimensional composite deformation of the blade is caused by the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation and the load generated by gas scouring. Aiming at the problem of three-dimensional composite deformation on the surface of aeroengine blades under high-speed rotation, a three-dimensional deformation measurement method based on stroboscopic structure digital image correlation
The detection of individual pigs and their parts is a key step to realizing automatic recognition of group-housed pigs' behavior by video monitoring. However, it is still difficult to accurately locate each individual pig and their body parts from video images of groups-housed pigs. To solve this problem, a Cascade Faster R-CNN Pig Detector (C-FRPD) was designed to detect the individual pigs and different parts of their body. Firstly, the features were extracted by 101-layers Residual Networks (ResNet-101) from video images of group-housed pigs, and the features were input into the region proposal networks (RPN) to obtain the region proposals. Then classification and bounding box regression on region proposals were performed to get the location of each pig. Finally, the body parts of the pig were determined by using the Cascade structure to search on the feature map of the pig body area. These operations completed the detection of the whole body of each pig and its different parts of the body, and established the association between the whole and parts of the body in the end-to-end detection. In this study, 1500 pig pen images were trained and tested. The test results showed that the detection accuracy of C-FRPD reached 98.4%. Compared with the Faster R-CNN without cascade structure, the average detection accuracy was increased by 4.3 percentage points. The average detection time of a single image was 259 ms. The method in this study could accurately detect and correlate the individual pig with its head, back, and tail in the image. This method can provide a technical reference for recognizing the behavior of group-housed pigs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
