Proposal for an Animal Position and Behavior Detection System using Infrared Pyroelectric Sensors in an Animal Damage Countermeasure System
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In recent years, Japanese agriculture has been facing various challenges due to a lack of human resour ces, one of which is animal damage by destructive animals. In this study, we propose an IoT system that enables low - cost and effective animal damage control. This paper proposes a method for detecting animal movements around a field using infrared pyroelectric sensors and estimating their positions and behavior s, which is a part of the proposed IoT system. In the experiments, simulation experiments using Unity were conducted to confirm the effectiveness of the algorithm for estimating position coordinates and action paths of the animals, and to confirm that the estimated trajectories of the animals are almost identical to their actual action paths.
