| description | Pork is the most widely consumed meat product in the world, and achieving accurate detection of individual pigs is of great significance for intelligent pig breeding and health monitoring. Improved pig detection has important implications for improving pork production and quality, as well as economics. However, most of the current approaches are based on manual labor, resulting in unfeasible performance. In order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of individual pig detection, this paper describes the development of an attention module enhanced YOLOv3-SC model (YOLOv3-SPP-CBAM. SPP denotes the Spatial Pyramid Pooling module and CBAM indicates the Convolutional Block Attention Module). Specifically, leveraging the attention module, the network will extract much richer feature information, leading the improved performance. Furthermore, by integrating the SPP structured network, multi-scale feature fusion can be achieved, which makes the network more robust. On the constructed dataset of 4019 samples, the experimental results showed that the YOLOv3-SC network achieved 99.24% mAP in identifying individual pigs with a detection time of 16 ms. Compared with the other popular four models, including YOLOv1, YOLOv2, Faster-RCNN, and YOLOv3, the mAP of pig identification was improved by 2.31%, 1.44%, 1.28%, and 0.61%, respectively. The YOLOv3-SC proposed in this paper can achieve accurate individual detection of pigs. Consequently, this novel proposed model can be employed for the rapid detection of individual pigs on farms, and provides new ideas for individual pig detection. |
