Abstract

One of the principal activities in the poultry industry is determine the sex of chickens of one day old. In this paper, we present a non-invasive technique to determine the sex of day-old chickens based on image processing algorithms. The technique analyzes morphometrical attributes from chicken using the slow and rapid growth of primary and secondary feathers patterns and linear discriminant analysis models. Based on the area formed with the superior points of each feather, the technique is capable to determine the sex of day-old chickens with an accuracy of 94.4%, providing a cheap, non-invasive, and high accurate technique that could be implemented onto a dedicated and automated system.

形态计量变量和图像处理在日龄鸡性别测定中的新应用

家禽业的主要活动之一是确定一天大的鸡的性别。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于图像处理算法的无创技术来确定日龄鸡的性别。该技术使用初级和次级羽毛的缓慢和快速生长模式以及线性判别分析模型来分析鸡的形态计量属性。基于每根羽毛的优势点形成的区域，该技术能够以94.4%的准确率确定日龄鸡的性别，提供了一种廉价、无创和高精度的技术，可以在专用的自动化系统上实现。
