System and method for testing poultry response

A system for testing poultry response, comprising:

• a camera, configured to receive a plurality of first images of a poultry house, and the plurality of first images include at least one of a poultry area and a background area;
• a processor, configured to:
• binarize each of the plurality of first images to distinguish the poultry area and the background area of each of the plurality of first images,
• divide each of the plurality of first images into a plurality of image units,
• calculate a density of the poultry area in each of the plurality of image units,
• calculate density change in all of the plurality of image units between the consecutive first images,
• calculate a sum of the density changes in all of the plurality of image units to obtain the first activity, and
• determine whether the first activity is lower than a target activity threshold;
• a beam generator, configured to emit a beam;
• and
• a beam direction control unit, configured to move the beam,
• wherein if the first activity is lower than the target activity threshold, the beam is emitted by the beam generator, and the beam is moved by the beam direction control unit, so as to disturb poultry in the poultry house,
• wherein the camera is further configured to receive a plurality of second images of the disturbed poultry house, and the plurality of second images include at least one of the poultry area and the background area;
• wherein the processor is further configured to calculate a second activity according to the plurality of second images;
• and to compare the first activity with the second activity to assess a response, wherein a step of comparing the first activity with the second activity to assess the response includes steps of:
• determining whether there is a difference between the first activity and the second activity;
• and
• emitting the beam by the beam generator and moving the beam by the beam direction control unit again if there is no difference between the first activity and the second activity, so as to disturb the poultry in the poultry house again, and issuing an alert.
