Abstract
Poultry business as we all know is one of the most profitable businesses all over the world. The
reason being, the demand by big concerns such as KFC, McDonalds, Pizza Hut and many other
food chains is extremely high. Secondly, the growth rate of today’s broiler chicken is almost as
high as that of a vegetable such as potatoes (broiling chicken grows very fast). These two factors
contribute heavily to the huge returns and attractive profits. There is always a con to a pro for
any business and thus in this business, the con is the uncertainty factor which contributes
adversely to the perceived profits. Uncertainty in terms of various diseases such as bird flu and
many other viruses are extremely effective in destroying whole poultry farms in a matter of
hours.
In our project we are addressing this very dilemma of uncertainty caused by poultry-related viral
attacks. To achieve this goal we shall IN SHA ALLAH develop a DIP (MV) based Sick Chicken
Behavior Detection System.

Introduction
1. Introduction
Although poultry is one of the highly profitable businesses in the world, yet due to uncertainty
induced by pandemic viral diseases such as bird flu, unpredictable heavy losses can destroy the
business.
In our project we are addressing this very dilemma of uncertainty caused by poultry related virus
attacks. To achieve this goal we will be developing a DIP (MV) based Early Stage Viral Attack
Detection and Warning System.
Poultry is that the biggest revenue generating business round the world however its risky once it
involves the microorganism attack state of affairs. it's not possible for the individual to come to
life nightly to stay an eye fixed on the chickens as we all know that the virus invariably attacks at
night time as a result of the biological resistance system of chickens is all the way down to
minimum throughout sleep time and this is often the purpose wherever things fail.
Early warning and speedy alert for Chicken malady will play a crucial role within the production
of healthy chickens. today Advance Warning System for Poultry Farms
against microorganism attack is an important demand for the poultry farmers in order
that speedy detection and response to a suspicious state of affairs is feasible.
Early detection is principally supported reactive police work. On a national and inter-national
level, many police work systems of chicken diseases square measure operational. All regular
activities with the aim of early detection and management of chicken diseases has importance to
national economies, food security and trade.
All the opposite systems that has been projected or designed square measure for the advance
safety measures in order that a scourge doesn't attack, However what if a chicken gets
infected however will we have a tendency to management the transfer of virus from one chicken
to other? This is often a crucial issue however sadly no such system has been designed that
may determine the infected chicken in order that we are able to inoculate it out from others.
Introduction Page 10
1.1. Problem Statement
To develop a Sick chicken behavior detection System
1.2. Purpose
The purpose of this project is to style and develop system which will be watching health and care
section of chickens it'll be capable to spot the infected chicken at the terribly initial stage through
Image process techniques. This method is going to be able to determine the infected chicken at
the terribly initial stage so square measure able to inoculate that chicken and therefore others are
saved from the virus
Introduction Page 11
1.3. Objectives
 The system can improve the poultry growth by detective work the infected chicken at
early stage. specifically, our project can focus on: Frame Extraction, distinctive the
Chicken and distinctive the infected chicken.
 Most of the chickens die once the illness enters the poultry farms it's transferred from one
chicken to alternative terribly very less time, In chickens, in the dead of night time the
metabolism is at its lowest level which is that the time once virus
is more transferred therefore our system are operating 24/7 in order that it will notice the
infected chicken even in the dead of night.

Literature Review
2. Literature Review
Numerous applications have been built in the agriculture sector using technology like
Machine Vision such as land-based and aerial-based remote sensing for various purposes
whether it is precision farming, safety detection or process automation etc. It is due to the
fact that Machine Vision Systems not only take into account the graphical details but also
address the related numerical attributes.
In the poultry farming industry, control of environmental parameters directly affects yield.
The ambient humidity is one factor which requires control
for effective growth. Sensors currently available cannot withstand the harsh environment of
the poultry house. A humidity sensor based on the psychometric effect, temperature sensors
already in use in poultry
houses, and digital processing provide an industry standard output while withstanding harsh
conditions. The sensor successfully automates the psychometric process, measures the
difference between the wet and
dry bulb temperatures and digitizes the difference to produce a voltage output proportional to
percent relative humidity.
The objective of this study work is to develop a low cost semi-automated vaccination
machine based on chick morphology parameters. Chick morphology was carried out on
locally vaccinating centre in Khartoum North. The mean value of chick weight, chick height
and neck height were equal to 22.917 ±2.24g, 11.542 ± 1.248 cm, 4.1208 ± 0.836 cm,
respectively. The
proposed machine has been designed and developed successfully.
The developed machine consists of an injection, stainless steel
base, stainless steel cover, Teflon plate, switch, air compressor, mounted double acting
cylinder, solenoid valve 5/2, Filter Regulator Lubricator (FRL), solenoid limit switch and
connections. The developed machine had overall dimensions of 500 mm length, 164 mm
height, 350 mm and a total weight of 22 kg. Furthermore, the developed machine has been
successfully tested and evaluated. The mean time for vaccinating one chick with the semi-
automated machine and the manual commercial one were equal to 1.8771 ± 0.591 and 3.760
Literature Review Page 14

± 1.552 second, respectively. The estimated production of the machine is 2000 chick/hour
that saves approximately half time with no skills to the manual commercial one. The unit
total cost is about 500 US Dollars excluding the air compressor
2.1. Previous Systems for Poultry Farms
Early detection in extremely settled region of the globe was done manually (based on visual
cues, Human worker determine sick chickens among an oversized healthy cluster. Globally,
such many police investigation systems of chicken diseases were used and
in several underneath developed countries are operational even these days.
2.2. Existing Systems
2.2.1. Canadian Notifiable Avian Influenza Surveillance System

(CanNAISS)
CANNAISS could be a joint program of state, industry, and Canadian farmers to stop, find and
eliminate the presence of H5 and H7 subtypes of craniate influenza(Chicken Disease) in
Canada's domestic poultry farms. it's one in all the most effective numbers of domestic and
international police investigation initiatives for craniate respiratory disease.
CANNAISS is intended to fulfill craniate respiratory disease tips from the planet Organization
for Animal Health (OIE) and trade needs from the eu Union. it's designed to find the presence
of craniate respiratory disease in live Canadian poultry, and enhances Canada’s police
investigation efforts. CANNAISS provides data regarding craniaterespiratory disease viruses in
Canada’s domestic poultry flocks in order that Canadian poultry producers and
processors will do business internationally.

There are many surveillance activities. Canada currently monitors for avian influenza through:
 Wild chicken police work.

 Passive police work in domestic poultry once clinical
signs suggestive craniates respiratory disease area unit according.
 Targeted police work once craniate respiratory disease is detected.
 Pre-slaughter police work in business poultry (chickens and turkeys).
 Hatchery offer flock police work.
 Voluntary increased police work within the poultry genetic exporters sector.
2.2.2. Bio Security Plans

To prevent the entry and unfold of infectious diseases into and from a poultry farm,. Bio-
security needs the adoption of a group of attitudes and behaviors’ by folks, to cut back risk all
told activities involving poultry production and promoting activities involving poultry production
and promoting.
Bio-security could be a observe designed to stop the unfold of unwellness onto your
farm. it's accomplished by maintaining the ability in such how that there's bottom traffic of
biological organisms (viruses, bacteria, rodents, etc.) across its borders. Bio-security is that
the most cost-effective, simplest means that of unwellness management out there.
No unwellness interference program can work while not it. Bio-security has 3 major
components:
 Isolation.
 Traffic Control.
 Sanitation.
Bio-Security includes set of ideas and rules to be followed which includes:
 Company Communications Plan Guidelines.

 Employee Protocol Plan Guidelines.
 Delivery Vehicle Guidelines.
 Premise Security Guidelines.

 Flock Management Plan Guidelines.

 Wild Chicken Plan Guidelines.
 Dead Chicken and Manure Disposal Plan Guidelines.
 Clean first before disinfecting.
 Easy footbath.
2.2.3. The Eye NAMIC System

Eye-NAMIC is AN automatic behavior monitor for broilers. Eye-NAMIC uses camera
technology within the house. Cameras mounted within the ridge of the house endlessly monitor a
district of the ground below. Analysis pack interprets these pictures into AN index for animal
migration and activity within the house, each of that area unit valuable indicators of animal
welfare. With correct distribution, you'll not suffer from native overcrowding; there's less
mortality and a lot of uniform growth. an energetic activity of your animals can avoid leg issues,
feed and water intake stay stable and your animals can grow higher.
Eye-NAMIC permits the behavior of a bunch of broilers to be followed from minute to minute.
Clear overviews show the migration and activity of the animals. Abnormal behavior is
visible instantly, enabling to you to retort in time before any abnormalities will have an effect
on the welfare or health of the animals. This info is saved and might be used subsequently for
analysis of the climate state of affairs, as an example. you have got the
knowledge of optimum animal performance and no unpleasant surprises at the top of
a finished cycle.
 Permanent insight into broiler behavior.
 Welfare information about animal migration and activity.
 Early response to abnormal behavior.
 Very Expensive, small level poultry farmers cannot afford it.

Figure 1 Eye NAMIC SYSTEM
2.3. Why Not Existing Systems?

Because they are expensive and therefore the local private poultry farmers cannot afford to use it.
2.4. Technology Used

We have planned a system which will be observance health and care section of chickens; it'll be
capable to spot the infected chicken at the terribly initial stage through Image process.
2.5. Baseline Technologies

Digital Image Processing
Digital image processing is the use of computer algorithms to perform image processing on
digital images. As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing
has many advantages over analog image processing. It allows a much wider range of algorithms
to be applied to the input data and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and signal
distortion during processing. Since images are defined over two dimensions (perhaps more)
digital image processing may be modeled in the form of multidimensional systems.
Figure 2 Image Processing Method
Machine vision:
Machine vision (MV) is that the technology and ways wont to give imaging-based automatic
examination and analysis for such applications as automatic examination, method management,
and golem steering in business. Machine vision uses image capture and analysis to change tasks
like examination, gauging, and enumeration, additionally to reading barcodes and optical
characters (OCR). whereas human examiners will visually inspect elements to evaluate the
standard of acquisition, machine vision systems use advanced hardware and software system
parts to perform these functions at higher speeds, reliably, and with bigger exactitude.
Figure 3 Machine Vision

Pattern recognition:
Pattern recognition could be a branch of machine learning that focuses on the popularity of
patterns and regularities in information, though this can be conjointly thought-about to
be terribly near machine learning at several areas. Pattern recognition systems in several cases is
thought as trained systems they're trained to acknowledge the patterns once learning , Algorithms
for pattern recognition rely upon the sort of label output, on whether or not learning
is supervised or unsupervised , and on whether or not the rule is applied math or non-statistical in
nature.
Figure 4 Pattern Recognition

2.6. Conclusion
As poultry sector of our country is within the developing part. we want to figure lots during
this sector because it is one amongst the foremost profitable businesses as way as our
economy worries. several of our poultry farms face a large loss once their chickens area
unit attacked by a deadly virus. This virus is transferred from one to the
opposite and therefore most of the chickens area unit attacked later.
Virus may be transmitted directly from chicken to chicken through secretions and BM, and
indirectly through human movement, contaminated feed, water and instrumentation. In light-
weight of the threat and risks related to viruses, raised attention has been drawn to the
continued ought to defend domestic poultry through the effective use of safety measures. Safety
involves maintaining sensible hygiene practices and limiting exposure to external sources of
contamination.
But when casting off these measures one can't one hundred pc assure that the chickens won’t get
infected by the Virus. There remains an opportunity of chickens being attacked and if this
happens however will we tend to stop the transfer of virus from one to other? this is often the
question that must be answered. we want to develop a system to secure the chickens from the
virus or a minimum of to prevent the transfer of contagious virus from one to the
opposite chicken.
This project, at conclusion, will be able to establish the infected chicken at the terribly initial
stage in order that {we can we will we area unit able to} inoculate that retire of all
and therefore others are saved from the virus.

completed by us. This document is developed in a way that it details the software product
specifications in terms of:
 Introduction
 Requirements
 Objectives
3.5. Goal of Project

To alter the poultry farm Associate in Nursingd generating an early warning and speedy alert
system for detection of chicken diseases. It will play a very important role within the production
of healthy chickens. Intelligent Warning System for Poultry farms against infectious agent attack
is a vital demand for speedy detection and response to a suspicious scenario.
Model based mostly chicken recognition algorithmic program are designed to differentiate the
chicken from background (Floor, Feeding Pan, Waste etc.). To modify the detection of a sick
chicken and infected chicken among sizable amount of chickens could be aintimidating task.
We will handle this downside in a

sublime method mistreatment the development therefore referred to as Strange attractor(chaos
theory) in different words we'll activate attracter to isolate sick chicken from healthy ones and to
realize this we'll use quite one feeding purpose within the poultry enclosure. Given the actual
fact that the sick chicken can demonstrate:
 Lack of interest (loss of appetite in food)
 Loss in agility

Due to these two disabling the chicken will always be lagging behind and standing off the crowd
whenever a new feeding point is activated. With that; this project is capable to identify the
infected chicken at the very initial stage so that we can inoculate that chicken out of all and thus
others are saved from the virus.

4. System Design
Definition
System style is that the method of art of shaping the design, components, modules, interfaces
and information for a system to satisfy nominative needs. One might see because the application
of systems theory of development.
4.1. Design Architecture

Software design could be a high level structure of a software, it's the tactic to make such
structures, and also the documentation of those structures. it's the set of principles and
structures required to reason regarding the software. every structure contains computer
code parts, relations among them, and properties of each parts and relations.
Software design includes structural choices from potentialities within the style of computer
code. for instance, the system that controls the atmospheric pressure in gas stations has the
necessity of being in no time, and really reliable, in essence. so a
quick and appropriate programing language should be chosen.
Thus the computer code design of a program or ADP system could be a depiction of the system
that aids within the understanding of however the system can behave. computer
code design is the blueprint for each the system and also the project developing it, process the
work assignments that has to be administered by the planning and implementation groups.
The design is that the primary carrier of a system quality like performance, modifiability and
security, none of which might be achieved while not a unifying field version. design is Associate
in Nursing unit for early analysis to form positive that a style approach can yield an
appropriate system.

Methodology
6. Methodology
6.1. Big Blob Detector
At the terribly initial stage huge journal detector gets the extracted frame. when obtaining the
frame it starts scanning it, sometimes it takes odd variety of pixels that's ninety nine x ninety
nine Pixels or a hundred and one x a hundred and one Pixels. Reason behind taking
odd variety of pixels is that we want to seek out its center that is
definitely potential in associate odd variety matrix, whereas scanning a frame with a grid of
{101|one hundred associated one|a hundred and one|one zero one} x 101pixels once it
receives space|the world|the realm} of its interest or the purposes that fulfill its
conditions it'll store the middle of that area or point in an array.
Figure 6 Big Blob Detector
Once those centers square measure keep in associate degree array the system can compare the
values of these points with threshold, if a condition gets true for a
1 or quite one purpose it'll store that center points
for additional actions whereas feat all alternative points.

Figure 7 Big Blob Detector A
In this massive Blob Detector are able to get any object as our space of interest during
a region that isn't the demanded case as a result of we tend to are wanting forward to seek
out and determine the chicken not different objects. thus to beat this downside eight
neighboring purposes or pixels and one center point are going to be taken and this grid
of nine x nine pixels is additional transferred or forwarded to Hull Reader.

6.2. Auto Hull Reader
After receiving grids of 9x9 pixels, Hull Reader can develop more sixteen points on these
received points. primarily it'll produce a Hull of sixteen points. currently on of these points Hull
Reader can produce spikes. The length of those spikes depends on the position wherever they lie.
Figure 9 Hull Reader
Following are the points and their lengths:
 Every ray will have a length of 25 Pixels.

 Cross Spikes will have a length of 32 Pixels.
 Others will have length of 17 Pixels.

Figure 10 Pattern
Once these spikes area unit created all the pixels of those spikes area unit scanned by a jump
of five pixels every. On scanning the points 3 points area unit received that area
unit. it'll calculate the values of those points and understand wherever it gets the sharp falling
edges those which can have the values it'll store them and eliminate all those that have very low
values. during this approach orientations are gathered and a box are placed over these
points which can determine that it's a chicken.

6.4. Edge Orientation Detection
Edge orientation detection includes a variety of mathematical methods that aim at identifying
points in a digital image at which the image brightness changes sharply or, more formally, has
discontinuities. The points at which image brightness changes sharply are typically organized
into a set of curved line segments termed edges. The same problem of finding discontinuities in
one-dimensional signals is known as step detection and the problem of finding signal
discontinuities over time is known as change detection. Edge detection is a fundamental tool
in image processing, machine vision and computer vision, particularly in the areas of feature
detection and feature extraction .The diagram we are using is described in following Diagrams :

6.4. Future Work
Once the chicken is known the any work would now not be tough, Hardware is
also refined which can embody Shutter, Buzzers, Feeding Pans, Paint gun and strange
attractors. owing to the shortage of your time we tend to couldn’t manage to utterly deploy the
system otherwise when the identification of a chicken,infected chicken was to be known on the
premise of some biological and scientific rules and principles. Once the camera captures sick
chicken system can drop the shutter, generate the alarm and at identical time with the
assistance of a paint gun it'll shoot the sick chicken to form it simple for the person to

Conclusion
8. Conclusion
For years poultry farms are operating to avoid wasting their chickens
from microorganism attacks that they need not achieved nevertheless. Hundred thousands of
chickens have died because of microorganism attacks in past few years. World
is wanting forward to the new technology during this field conjointly.
Increased use of digital video and image process technology within the world
has paved the manner in poultry farming to extend the expansion and save the chickens
from microorganism attacks. is also in coming back future it'll get a lot of economical.
Many countries area unit exploitation totally different systems to safe guard their poultry
growth however {they area unit they're} too expensive to introduce In Asian country as we have
a tendency to area unit underneath developed state and most of the poultry farms are of
poor individuals or socio-economic class that cannot afford these high-priced systems for his or
her poultry farms.
Hence to beat this drawback we have a tendency to area unit developing Machine Vision based
mostly Poultry Farm Automation System (SCBDS) to sight the infected chicken at the earliest
stage in order that transfer of virus from one chicken to alternative is also stopped, this
technique shall be inbuilt a really low price budget in order that it will simply be cheap for
the personal poultry farms, SCBDS are facilitate full within the coming back way forward
for Asian country.
Thus during this manner the human is additionally replaced by the machines and therefore
the possibilities of virus transfer are less.
