Abstract
A remote cattle securing and trapping system that allows a virtual rancher to detect cattle entering or exiting a pen at a remote location using an image recognition subsystem that includes capturing images using a camera, that determines which motion activates an electronics communication subsystem to send images via a virtual platform to a virtual rancher, and the virtual platform can be utilized to activate a relay controlled latch system that opens or closes a cattle gate at the remote location.
Claims15
An animal detection and trapping system comprising:
- a spring loaded gate and relayed controlled latch subsystem;
- an electronic controls and communications subsystem;
- and
- a camera and image recognition subsystem.
1 more element
A method for trapping animals comprising;
- detecting an animal within a trapping area by a camera subsystem;
- generating an image using data provided by the camera subsystem and a machine learning enabled detection algorithm that can differentiate motion in the trapping area;
- and
- sending a wireless signal to actuate a latch to trap the animal within the trapping area.
