Studies on Pest Identification by Ultrasound

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recently, environmental damage caused by pest, invasive species Nutria has become an issue in Tottori Prefecture and development of an effective control method is in demand. Therefore, we have developed a robot that could identify pest by using ultrasonic sensor. The benefits of using this robot is that it is difficult to be influenced by environmental conditions and easily recognizes three dimensional input. Unfortunately, this robot could only confirm the presence of target object but could not identify the object, which means it could not differentiate whether the object is human or pest. In this paper, we have invented a robot that could visualize the object by using frequency-modulated ultrasound and Self-Organizing Map (SOM).
