Detecting broiler chickens at different ages with advanced deep learning models

Escrito por: Lilong Chai

INTRODUCTION

METHODS

Figure 1. Examples of broiler images from different scenes. a. Broiler images from reused litter floor .b. Broiler images from fresh pine shavings floor.c. Broiler images from multiple pens floor.

In addition, to evaluate the detection performance of the model under multiple pens scenes, the image samples shown in Fig.1c were constructed, in which 70 images were selected for d16 and d23.

FINDINGS

Figures 2 and 3 show the detection results of broilers with YOLOv5 and YOLOv5-CBAM on fresh pine shaving and reused litter floors, respectively.

Fig. 2. Detection results using YOLOv5 and YOLOv5-CBAM in fresh pine shavings. (a) Birds at day 2. (b) Birds at day 9. (c) Birds at day 16. (d) Birds at day 23.

The precision, recall, F1, and mAP@0.5 of YOLOv5- CBAM were 97.3%, 92.3%, 94.7%, and 96.5%, which was higher than that of YOLOv5 (96.6%, 92.1%, 94.3% and 96.3%), Faster R-CNN (79.7%, 95.4%, 86.8% and 90.6%) and SSD (60.8%, 94.0%, 73.8% and 88.5%).

The results show that the overall performance of the proposed YOLOv5-CBAM was the best.
