Abstract
Disclosed are systems, devices, and methods for detecting characteristics of an unhatched egg. A set of images of an unhatched egg are obtained, where each of the spectral images is obtained in a particular wavelength range. The set of images is processed to extract image features, where the image features includes an image texture feature. The extracted image features are processed to classify the unhatched egg according to at least one characteristic. The at least one characteristic may include fertility and/or gender.
Claims24
A device for detecting a characteristic of an unhatched egg, the device comprising:
- an imaging interface configured to receive a set of images of an unhatched egg, each of the images obtained in a particular wavelength range;
- a feature extractor configured to process the set of images to extract image features, the image features including an image texture feature;
- a classifier configured to process the extracted image features to classify the unhatched egg according to at least one characteristic;
- wherein the device transmits a control signal to actuate an apparatus according to the classified unhatched egg.
A computer-implemented method of detecting a characteristic of an unhatched egg, the method comprising:
- receiving, by way of an image interface, a set of images of an unhatched egg, each of the images obtained in a particular wavelength range;
- processing, at least one processor, the set of images to extract image features, the image features including an image texture feature;
- processing, at the at least one processor, the extracted image features to classify the unhatched egg according to at least one characteristic;
- and
- transmitting, by the at least one processor using a transceiver, data signals of results of the classified unhatched egg.
