用耳朵静脉图案识别猪,精准率达98.12%,适合小农户使用。

Cross-Breed Pig Identification Using Auricular Vein Pattern Recognition: A Machine Learning Approach for Small-Scale Farming Applications

  • 通过手机拍摄耳部静脉图像,用计算机视觉提取特征。
  • 在混合品种猪中实现98.12%的识别准确率,平均8.3秒完成识别。
  • 非侵入式、低成本,适合资源有限的小规模农场。

精准牲畜识别是现代养殖的核心:支持健康监测、育种计划和生产效率追踪。然而,常见的耳标和微芯片方法往往不可靠、成本高,且主要针对纯种猪,对小农户不实用。为此,我们提出一种非侵入性生物识别方法,利用耳部静脉图案的独特性。采集了20头混种猪(长白猪×皮特兰、杜洛克×皮特兰)的800张耳部图像,使用普通手机和简单背光拍摄。开发了多阶段计算机视觉流程,增强静脉可见性,提取结构与空间特征,并生成生物特征签名。这些特征通过机器学习模型分类,其中支持向量机(SVM)表现最佳,对混种猪群体识别精度达98.12%。从图像处理到分类平均耗时8.3秒,证明其适用于实时农场部署。我们认为,用永久性生物标记替代易损物理标识,可为农户提供低成本、无压力的动物识别方案。更广泛而言,研究证实耳静脉生物识别在数字化畜牧管理中的可行性,有望将精准农业的红利扩展至资源受限的农业社区。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate livestock identification is a cornerstone of modern farming: it supports health monitoring, breeding programs, and productivity tracking. However, common pig identification methods, such as ear tags and microchips, are often unreliable, costly, target pure breeds, and thus impractical for small-scale farmers. To address this gap, we propose a noninvasive biometric identification approach that leverages uniqueness of the auricular vein patterns. To this end, we have collected 800 ear images from 20 mixed-breed pigs (Landrace cross Pietrain and Duroc cross Pietrain), captured using a standard smartphone and simple back lighting. A multistage computer vision pipeline was developed to enhance vein visibility, extract structural and spatial features, and generate biometric signatures. These features were then classified using machine learning models. Support Vector Machines (SVM) achieved the highest accuracy: correctly identifying pigs with 98.12% precision across mixed-breed populations. The entire process from image processing to classification was completed in an average of 8.3 seconds, demonstrating feasibility for real-time farm deployment. We believe that by replacing fragile physical identifiers with permanent biological markers, this system provides farmers with a cost-effective and stress-free method of animal identification. More broadly, the findings confirm the practicality of auricular vein biometrics for digitizing livestock management, reinforcing its potential to extend the benefits of precision farming to resource-constrained agricultural communities.
