    Method of scaring birds and mammals
    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention relates to electrical apparatus for scaring birds and mammals, wherein the apparatus may contain means for delivering stimuli, wherein the apparatus may contain means for delivering varying stimuli as variants of at least one basic stimulus, wherein the apparatus contains camera technology for image recognition, such that stimuli can be adapted to the recognized species, or the apparatus can completely fail to trigger stimuli if certain objects are recognized, for example a human or a vehicle.
    The present invention also relates to a method of scaring birds and mammals comprising delivering stimuli in response to at least one control parameter, wherein the stimuli may comprise at least one stimulus selected from the following groups of noise stimuli: sound, light, movement and scent.
    The present invention also relates to the use of an apparatus and method as described above for the prevention of damage and nuisance caused by mammals and birds.
    The present invention also relates to the use of an apparatus and method as described above for scavenging specific bird and animal species from defined areas, eg gulls at wastewater treatment plants.
    The present invention also relates to the use of an apparatus and method as described above used in drones.
    Description of prior art
    Today, there are a number of solutions to deception using playback sounds. In general, such systems typically operate such that a mechanism such as, for example, a light fence is interrupted or a remote control activates the device. It may also be that a pre-programmed time interval determines the ratio by which the system triggers its frightening stimuli.
    DK 2016 70824 A1
    The problem with these types of solutions is that it is not possible to choose the most effective stimuli, including among other things. sound, motion, and light stimuli, as the systems cannot identify the specific species in question. As precisely the choice of soundtrack is crucial to the effect of these types of systems, it is essential to be able to identify the species in question to be frightened. If, for example, this is a specific gull species, then certain specific sounds must be used.
    The present invention combines a system for averting animals consisting of a system for storing and controlling sounds, etc. as well as, for example, loudspeaker installations for playing these sounds in combination with camera technology containing species recognition software to identify the specific species moving into a defined target area, after which the system can select the specific stimulus or stimuli that are effective in just frightening it. including the composition of stimuli in such a way as to obtain the necessary variation in stimuli.
    It is an object of the invention to substantially reduce the nuisance and damage caused by various animal species on defined areas or along defined stretches.
    Thus, one purpose may be to significantly reduce the harm caused by animals and birds to crops, forests, woodlands, buildings, stables, off-shore installations, etc.
    Another purpose may be to significantly reduce wild damage to new planting.
    A third purpose may be to reduce the number of traffic accidents caused by game and to reduce the number of game injuries due to collision.
    A fourth purpose may be to prevent damage from gutters in buildings.
    A fifth purpose may be to significantly reduce pollution due to seagull extras at sewage treatment plants.
    DK 2016 70824 A1 o
    island
    A sixth purpose may be to reduce nuisance and damage as a result of seagull infestations on parking spaces, off-shore installations, parking spaces, buildings and the like.
    A seventh purpose may be to use the technology in the situations described above, but mounted on a drone so that fewer plants can cover larger areas or hard-to-reach areas can be covered or if you want to cover different areas with one system. At the same time, further variance in the sound picture can be obtained, as the sound will come from different directions, which reduces the risk of getting used.
    An eighth purpose may be to use the technology in the situations described above, but to mount a self-propelled robot that is set to move either within a predefined range (as we know, for example, from robotic lawn mowers) or to run in random designs. for a physically delineated area (as yi know, for example, from robotic vacuum cleaners). In this way, randomization can be achieved in which direction the sound comes from, which reduces the possibility of getting used to, and covering larger areas with smaller number of plants.
    A ninth purpose may be to avoid sending stimuli if an unwanted object, such as an animal, human or vehicle, moves into the target area.
    There are a number of examples of solutions in the market. Applicant has also himself previously filed a patent for a solution which this patent is a further development of, namely WO 2007/104310 A1. This system is not able to adapt the delivered stimuli according to the specific animal species that triggers the system for scavenging. The system assumes that the species of animal is known, namely that it is, for example, deer or moths, and that basic stimuli and the resulting variations of basic stimuli are therefore known in advance. Also, the solution is unable to avoid giving off stimuli in the event that an unwanted animal or human triggers the system.
    US 5,602,523 discloses an animal decoy system specifically for deer in which the system generates a square output signal in the ultrasonic frequency range and which has a pizza electric actuator used in a horn speaker that produces harmonic frequency deviations,
    DK 2016 70824 A1 so that at any given time the fundamental frequency and harmonic deviation of the acoustic signal are found. The listed system has the ability to switch between at least 10 different frequencies. This is a system that works exclusively with the delivery of acoustic stimuli in the ultrasound area. That is, in a frequency range that is above the frequency range that is audible to humans, but within a frequency range that is audible to most animal species. The patent does not disclose the delivery of other types of stimuli than the specified ultrasonic stimuli.
    This can be achieved if an apparatus such as that described in the introduction is improved so that the apparatus, in addition to containing at least one memory, wherein the memory may contain various basic stimuli, the memory within the various basic stimuli may contain a plurality of variable stimuli, wherein the apparatus may contain means for selecting basic and variable stimuli, wherein the apparatus may contain means for delivering selected stimuli, also incorporating a camera technology capable of determining the specific animal species or object by means of image recognition software. are observed, and thus have the opportunity, on the basis, to select the basic stimuli as well as the variants of the basic stimuli that are effective in relation to the detected species, or to completely omit the stimuli.
    This can achieve a combination of different stimuli in light, sound, movement, vibration or scent based on information about the species in question. An apparatus may advantageously be constructed so that a combination of stimuli is selected depending on the current time of the day as well as other parameters having a known effect on the recognized animal species. At the same time, the system is arranged so that within the predefined basic stimuli there is a very large number of variants which, within sound, can comprise a number of very diverse sound recordings that can be stored in an electronic memory, so that very different sounds are played. - not just governed by time or by chance - but precisely adapted to the species recognized by the system.
    Similarly, in light, there are a wide variety of light signals that can vary in color and strength. Light can also be turned so that a candle cone will sweep the genDK 2016 70824 A1 easy landscape. By modifying light in conjunction with a light source, a movement can be incorporated into the light cone in a way that apparently a movement occurs where the light strikes. These light signals can advantageously be used when it is dark, and the delivery can thus also occur randomly, so that a repeat of light signals will be extremely rare.
    Within dry odor, several different odors can also be emitted, each of which has the effect of frightening the animals you want to remove from an area. Again, it is argued that different animal species react differently to different odors. Since the present system is based on the fact that a camera technology built-in image recognition activates the scavenger mechanisms, then only relevant odors affecting the detected animal species will be used. Similarly, smelling odors on an area will be avoided if, for example, it is a human or other animal that has activated the system,
    Similarly, by movement in the form of different movement patterns in the form of, for example, arms that can be raised and lowered, or items that can be rotated, a movement may be created possibly in combination with light, so that this has a great effect. Here, too, within motion, there may be a number of variables that can be implemented.
    By combining basic stimuli with a large number of pathways in variants, it will be very rare that the same combination of stimuli will be used. This prevents animals from becoming accustomed to a particular stimulus, since the delivery of stimuli after a habit is completely inoperative. The camera technology and associated software for determining animal species based on image recognition sends information to the system about which animal species has been detected. From this, the system will determine which or which basic stimuli should be used to effectively intimidate the species in question. In order to avoid acclimatization, the system will combine basic stimuli with other pathogen variants that have a proven effect on the animal species concerned.
    In addition, the device may select stimulants based on a current time when the device may contain a random generator for selection of stimulivariDK 2016 70824 A1 anther. Hereby it can be achieved that overall control of which stimuli to use is based on image recognition, while selection of stimuli variables is based on, for example, the time or random generator, so that it is very difficult to predict which combinations of stimuli that are used. upon activation is used.
    The apparatus may cooperate with infrared optical means for detecting game. Hereby it can be achieved that a well-known infrared sensor may indicate, by a combination of several sensors, the presence of animals in a nearby area. Hereby a self-acting device can be built up, which can be placed, for example, in a natural groove in a naturally growing forest, where you allow self-germination of trees, so that in a nearby area around the device, which nearby area may extend 30-50 meters from the location of the device , self-germination of self-sown trees will have reasonably good growth opportunities, without disturbing the animals in the immediate area, in addition to entering the new growth area.
    The apparatus may advantageously cooperate with means for emitting and detecting at least one light beam for detecting wild game. In this way it can be achieved that a fence can possibly be formed of several light rays, and where light rays can be deflected around corners by means of mirrors, then a barrier of a stretch of maybe several 100 meters or nier can be obtained by means of a single set of detectors. Whereas apparatus for delivering stimuli either by remote control / mobile application or by means of a cable connection is placed in a completely different location than the detectors to deliver stimuli, so that game is forced in a different direction. In this way, it is possible to avoid that wild game in large flocks penetrate fields and do great damage to crops. Similarly, with the help of the electronic game fence, wildlife can be retained in forest areas and fail to cross roads, thereby reducing the number of accidents between cars and animals. The above scenario can also be achieved by a camera monitoring an area and activating stimuli if and when game moves into the area, and not if a human or dog does.
    Application of the invention, as described in the introduction, can advantageously be carried out such that a game-feeding zone can be laid out along a forest edge where detectors can be used on a background field for detecting game, where detection of game
    DK 2016 70824 A1 game can lead to the selection and transmission of a combination of basic stimuli and stimulus variables based on, for example, species recognition.
    In this way, a good interaction can be achieved between a wild population in a forest and a neighbor, where the interest of the forest may be a large wild population, while the neighbor's interest is to reduce the number of wild damage to crops as much as possible. While the neighbor who grows the crops may also have an interest in hunting to some extent in the wild that resides in the fields. By establishing a decided forage zone between field and forest, you can achieve that the animals are concentrated in the feeding zone, where you may choose to feed on beets or another natural crop, which the game prefers, while a backward field, for example, with maize, which is also a preferred feed source for deer game, then stimuli will be emitted as the game moves from the feed zone into the adjacent field. Feeding zones may perhaps be formed by cultivating special crops in the feed zone, which are precisely attractive to the game. In this way, an increased stock of game can be obtained, and with the application of the invention one can obtain, the damage to crops in fields adjacent to the feeding zone is greatly reduced.
    The invention further relates to the use of at least one apparatus which is set up in a new plant for detecting game and transmitting a combination of basic stimuli and stimuli variables. This can achieve that a new planting is protected against wild damage, for example by placing a single device in the middle of a new planting. This will reduce the damage in the area around the appliance. Using an alternative variant of the invention, an area can be fenced by a fence consisting of one or more light rays, where stimuli are triggered each time the light rays are refracted. This allows fencing of new plantings, even of large areas, because the number of light rays can be increased to a large number for fencing of larger areas, so that traditional fencing around new plantings is completely avoided. Alternatively, the system may contain a number of sensors such as cameras, radar or scanner that monitor the surrounding area. If a predetermined species - in this case wild - moves into the field of view of the cameras, then the system will be activated.
    DK 2016 70824 A1
    The invention further relates to the use of at least one apparatus and method which may advantageously be used in a path / passage through a forest where detection of game can be effected using means for emitting at least one light beam and / or image recognition camera, wherein means for detecting light rays as well as camera may be associated with at least one apparatus for transmitting a combination of basic stimuli and stimulus variables. In this way it can be achieved that the number of traffic accidents in which cars are hit by cars is significantly reduced in favor of the game, but also by greatly reducing the damage to cars driving in the wild. Use of the apparatus will mean that as soon as animals are assisted by the light rays or the camera detects an animal which is possibly retracted relative to a road, then stimuli will be emitted, possibly from an area behind the light rays, so that the animals are intimidated. to move in the opposite direction, thereby preventing the passage of animals by, for example, a road. By using image recognition, it prevents the regular traffic in the area, such as dogs being aerated, or people walking, being bothered by the facility. On roads with very low traffic, the system can be combined with detector systems to indicate whether or not there is traffic on the roads. For example, in the countryside where there is a game trail that crosses a road, one can close the game trail every time, which is an indication that cars are on their way through the forest, but at those times, for example, very early in the morning when the game is most active and there are no cars on the roads, no stimuli are emitted and the game passage of the roads is free.
    The invention also relates to the use of apparatus and the method in buildings for detecting and preventing wounds, where an apparatus can be associated with camera technology with image recognition set for detecting wounds, where the apparatus for detecting wounds can emit a combination of basic stimuli and stimuli variables, where the apparatus may contain means of communication which are activated by detecting wounds in a building. In this way it can be achieved that one or more appliances can be placed in a building, and the release of stimuli will scare a thimble if it enters the building. However, indication of ulcers will simultaneously mean that in many cases the ulcer is removed, and therefore it is an advantage if the apparatus is combined with, for example, sending an electronic signal, possibly in the form of a signal over the mobile telephone network, that there are detectors. ! a feeling, and stimuli emitted. Subsequently can a game management
    DK 2016 70824 A1 or game consultant take off to the address from which the signal was sent and set up mow traps.
    The invention also relates to the application of the apparatus to, for example, treatment plants or water basins, often plagued by seagulls. The problem is that gulls are a risk of infection. However, there are different species of gulls that respond differently to basic stimuli and stimulus variables. By using a camera technology with image recognition in connection with the system, it is possible to determine a gull to be, for example, a hooded gull and trigger the correct basic stimuli and relevant variables. If the wrong stimuli are used, for example stimuli that are effective against silver gulls, then the capillaries are not frightened. Thus, being able to effectively intimidate a specific species requires that the specific species be recognized and effective stimuli are transmitted.
    Another use of the invention is to set up the system at, for example, helicopter landing sites on drilling rigs. The off-shore industry is dealing with seagull and bird droppings on the landing platforms and elsewhere. Birds nuisance on oil and gas drilling platforms and other off-shore installations and ships are sought by birds. Offshore installations and lighthouses are the most frequent gulls and cormorants. It is costly to clean these as it is off-shore. However, cleaning is necessary as the excrements pose a health risk, but also because helicopter propellers / jet engines cause the excrements to fly around and get into the engine and electronics of the helicopter . Thus, they also pose a security risk. Since there may be a varied bird life around the platforms, and as different species respond to different stimuli, it is important to be able to determine the species that pose the problem and send the correct stimuli against them. Image recognition enables this.
    Another application of the invention is to use mounted drones. There may be situations where a mobile scare device may be preferable. There may also be situations where difficult access conditions suggest a solution involving drones. By mounting the entire system on a drone or firewood
    Simply attaching the detection mechanism to a drone can achieve this. Thus, the drone will be fitted with a camera capable of detecting various animal species. If the technology detects a species it is set to expel, then stimuli are activated according to the detected species. The drone may contain means for delivering stimuli, such as speakers or floodlights, or these may be located in the target area.
    Aquaculture and bottom net fishermen have problems with seals and cormorants that destroy bottom nets and damage the fish. Aquaculture on land has problems with headlands that harass the fish as well as gulls, cormorants and herons.
    The invention makes it possible to distinguish between different species including birds and mammals. In the invention one can distinguish between birds and other animals or objects. In wastewater treatment plants and on roof surfaces / buildings, the invention can register birds under, for example, seagulls, rays and crows, where cars and people are not registered.

    The invention is further described with reference to the drawing, in which fig. 1 shows a possible embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention; FIG. 2 shows a possible alternative embodiment using PIR detectors; FIG. 3 shows a possible embodiment of the invention by means of light rays; FIG. 4 shows a possible application of the invention; FIG. 5 shows another alternative application of the invention; FIG. 6 shows a third alternative application of the invention; FIG. 7 shows a fourth alternative application of the invention, and FIG. 8 is a graph showing the effect of the invention.
    Fig. 1 shows a possible embodiment of an apparatus 2 according to the invention. The apparatus 2 contains a central processor unit 4 which communicates with means 6,8,10,12 for delivering stimuli, 6 being sound stimuli, 8 being light stimuli, 10 being motion stimuli, and 12 being fragrance stimuli. The processor unit 4 is also connected to
    DK 2016 70824 A1 a memory 16, which contains groups of basic stimuli 18 for the delivery of auditory stimuli, basic stimuli 20 for the delivery of light, basic stimuli 22 for the delivery of movement, and basic stimuli 24 for the delivery of fragrance. The processor unit 4 is also connected to an input line 26 which can be used, for example, to control the delivery of stimuli. 100 is a camera either containing image recognition software module 101 or the software is embedded in the processor unit 4.
    Each of the individual blocks 18,20,22,24 contains variables within the same basic type of stimuli. That is, for example, basic stimuli 18 that contain sounds may contain a very large number of different sound sequences. Sound sequences may include shouting humans, galloping dogs, wolf howls, sound of lice, sound of birds of prey or predators such as lions, sound of moving cars, it may be sound of people laughing, it may be sound of horses during rapid galloping through woods or animals. own anxiety sounds or attack sounds. On the whole, there are a variety of sounds that can be used. At the same time, it will be possible in an apparatus 4 to change the frequency content of the current sounds recorded so that the individual sounds that can be emitted are not even the same from time to time. Also, within the light emitting, various groups of lights can be activated. Here, for example, a lamp can flash at widely different speeds. Flash or laser light can be used, that is, very fast discharge of strong light. Likewise, a light cone can be swiveled and thus sweep across an area as an alternative. It will also be possible to make a color change by optical elements, and at the same time a movement within a light cone can be made so that the field affected by light appears to be moving. Also, within the main group of motion stimuli 22, a large number of variants may be present, depending on the actual design of actuators for delivering motion, such as that illustrated by designation 10. Also within the scent stimuli 24, various combinations of scents can be found which, with the different combination, can have different effects and most often a very beneficial effect on scaring animals away over a longer period of time. A random variance in the sound image is not in itself sufficient to frighten animals as different species respond to different stimuli, therefore blocks 18, 20, 22, 24 will be controlled by a species recognition software 101 (or embedded in the processor unit 4), which bases its inputs from a camera 100.
    DK 2016 70824 A1
    Using an apparatus 2, depending on the control signals received over the connection line 26 from, for example, the camera 100 and processed through the image recognition software 101, widely different stimuli could be emitted depending on the species recognized and other variables such as time of day or night. in a way where the same stimuli are repeated only at very long intervals. This avoids getting used to the animals you want to protect yourself from.
    FIG. 2 shows a possible embodiment of the invention in which infrared PIR sensors 28,30 are connected to a control unit 32 which can communicate via an input line 34 with the input line 26, as indicated in Fig. 1, so that stimuli can be delivered which previously described, if one of the PIR sensors 28.30 detects a change in the infrared radiation level within a near range. Hereby a self-acting apparatus can be obtained, the unit 32 and the apparatus 2 being constructed in conjunction with one another. Hereby it will be possible to build an apparatus, for example in the form of a stand, which can operate automatically within a limited range, the PIR sensors 28.30 having a limited range. However, several sensors 28,30 can be provided which can be connected to apparatus 2 so that even larger areas can be protected against wild damage by using that technique. This self-acting apparatus outlined in FIG. 2 can also be connected to camera 100 with image recognition 101 to replace infrared PIR sensors.
    FIG. 3A shows a possible alternative embodiment of the invention, in which a number of light emitting apparatus and light receiving apparatus, respectively, or a combination of these 36-50 form a confined area within which there are a number of apparatus 2 for delivering stimuli, so that any intruding animals quickly scared away from the identified area. In this way, for example, a new planting of Christmas trees could be fenced with the help of an electronic fence, so that the number of damage in the form of truncated top shoots in the new planting is greatly reduced. Since deer game primarily does damage to new plantings during the spring months, where there is strong growth in the new shoots, a system such as that shown in fig. 3, advantageously is only used during these few months of the year when both wild game and crown game seek food in the new plantings, while for the rest of the year when there is plenty of food for the animals, they only pose very limited damage to new plantings.
    DK 2016 70824 A1
    FIG. 3B shows the same bounded area shown in FIG. 3A, but where the area is defined by either a physical shield, an electronic shield (e.g. buried wire) or software boundary. By placing a self-propelled vessel 102 within the boundary, the entire area can be shielded by a single unit.
    FIG. 3C is the same delimited area as outlined in Figs. 3A and 3B, but where the apparatus 2 is mounted on a drone 103 which overflows the area and emits stimuli.
    FIG. 4 shows a possible application of the invention, in which a forest zone 52 adjacent to a field 56 has a feeding zone 54, where detectors 58,60 are arranged on the field 56 immediately at the edge of the feeding zone 54, which of light rays indicate penetrating animals. Apparatus 2 for the delivery of stimuli are also shown. Camera 100 with software 101 selects stimuli according to the detected animal.
    Thus, animals from the forest edge 52 can freely move into the feeding zone 54, where, for example, feeding can be done by means of beets or other feed sources. Perhaps in the feed zone 54, direct crops can be planted for the purpose of attracting deer game. Given that feed is available in feed zone 54, the animals may only be attracted to crops to a lesser extent in the field 56. However, if there are attractive crops, e.g. For example, a beet or corn field, the animals may prefer the field to the feed zone 54. Therefore, the detectors 58.60, which, if the light beam is broken, are triggered by stimuli, as previously described, by the apparatus 2, thereby scaring the animals out of the field and back into the feeding zone 54 and possibly scaring the animals into the forest edge 52.
    Hg. 5 shows an alternative embodiment, for example for the protection of self-germinating trees in a clearing in an existing forest, where protection is required within a restricted area 62. PIR sensors 64.66,68 are shown here which will detect a change in it. infrared radiation within a near range ranging from 30-50 meters from the sensors 64.66.68. If the sensors detect animals, a camera may be activated for species determination, and will trigger stimuli from the apparatus 2, spaced apart from the detectors 64,66,68. Communication between the devices can either be through a wiring or it can be done wirelessly.
    DK 2016 70824 A1
    In FIG. 6, which illustrates an alternative application of the invention, shows a forest 70 through which a lane 72 passes. At the animal crossing the lane 72 there is a risk of accidents, the animals possibly being hit by cars. This causes great damage to the animals, but there can also be severe damage to cars. The figure shows detectors 74,76,78, which both act as detectors and emit light which, for example, by means of wireless communication, communicates with a number of apparatus 2 for transmitting stimuli. The figure also shows detectors 80,82,84,86, which by means of light rays for detecting cars on the road 72. This makes it possible to deactivate the sending of stimuli during a day in which there is no traffic on the roads. However, if detectors 80,82,84,86 indicate that a car is heading into the forest, then stimuli will immediately be emitted from the appliances 2, so that the animals are scared away and as long as a car is in the forest, the detectors 74,76,78 will be active, so that if a light beam is broken, stimuli are emitted from the apparatus 2. A deer board can be activated when there are animals in the sensor field while the stimuli are activated. The motorists are hereby informed that there are animals close to the road - and it would be a good idea to slow down the speed and sharpen the attention
    This can create a system that can significantly reduce the number of traffic injuries to animals.
    FIG. Fig. 7A shows an alternative embodiment of the invention in which an apparatus 2 is used in a building 90, where means 92,96 have been provided for establishing a light beam which, if the beam is broken, activates apparatus 2 which, when activated, is in communication with means of communication. 98, for example, for automatically sending a text message that the light beam between transmitter and detector 92.96 has been broken, indicating that a tear is present in building 90. The text message may be sent to a game consultant who by indication of wounds in the building take out and set traps to catch the wounds that house.
    Fig. 7B shows the same situation as described in Figs. 7A, but where a camera 100 with image recognition software 101 monitored the area. When an object is detected by the camera 100, it is sent to the image recognition software 101 which analyzes the observed object. If the software 101 recognizes a pre-programmed animal species
    DK 2016 70824 A1 to all should be scared away, as the basic stimuli and stimulus variants, which are defined as being effective against the recognized animal species, are activated. If the system detects other objects, such as a human, then no stimuli are activated.
    FIG. 8 shows a graphical representation of the number of deer game recorded in a given area every day for a period of well over a month, showing an initial period of approx. 12 days, where the appliances 2 have been inactive, but by means of light rays, the number of animals that have passed through the electric area has been detected, where it can be seen that the activity has been very large. in a subsequent period when the apparatus 2 has been active, so that stimuli are transmitted, it can be seen that the number of deer recorded has decreased to almost no activity, while in a third period when the apparatus 2 is deactivated, is seen with the same activity of deer game, that is, the use of the apparatus 2 has a very large effect, and the effect is apparently such that deer game during the period in which the system is active reaches and activates the apparatus 2 and turns quickly if and perhaps for a longer period of time stay away from the area in question, but if, due to the season, you do not want to hinder the movement of the animals, you can see that the animals become active in that area as soon as the system does not is active.
