Prototyping and evaluation of the prevention system for beast damage of the agricultural product

Abstract

In Otoyo-city of Kochi Prefecture Japan, wild monkeys have appeared farm field at several years ago, and an agricultural crop damage has been occurring. This district is a region mainly based on agriculture. Damage caused by monkeys has a direct influence on the production amount of agricultural crops. Catching by using a trap, requires the detection sensor to activate a trap. In general, the detection sensor is realized by the contacting wires or an infrared sensor. However, it can only detect a single monkey. In the case of monkeys, it is necessary to capture the whole herd. Because other monkeys will not get close to the trap even if capture the single monkey. We develop an artificial intelligence system that detects a group of monkeys and a catching trap system with them. This system use camera and target detection system, send images to a network server. In this server system, we developed an AI system to class monkey images and others. This paper shows the developed system and structure of our system and method.
