Smart system for tracking raising rate of crickets using infrared camera

Smart system for tracking raising rate of crickets using infrared camera

Abstract

In raising crickets for meat consumption, the growth rate and growth period of crickets are important data used to identify the number of crickets per breeding area at each age. Therefore, the researcher has an idea to create a system for monitoring the growth rate of crickets in a closed system using an infrared camera combined with computer image processing to study the growth and identify the growth period of crickets at each age in order to obtain knowledge that can be disseminated to farmers to improve the breeding process for maximum efficiency.

Objective

ปัจจุบันจิ้งหรีดถือได้ว่าเป็นสัตว์เศรษฐกิจชนิดใหม่ของประเทศไทยซึ่งทางภาครัฐโดยเฉพาะกรมปศุสัตว์ได้เริ่มมีการส่งเสริมให้ภาคการเกษตรได้เพาะเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดเพื่อการบริโภคสำหรับการส่งออก และเป็นการตอบรับกับเทรนด์อุตสาหกรรมอาหารใหม่ (Novel food) ตามแนวทางขององค์การอาหาร และเกษตรแห่งสหประชาชาติ (FAO : Food and Agriculture Organization) ซึ่งคาดการณ์เอาไว้ว่าจำนวนประชากรโลกจะเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างต่อเนื่องทำให้ความต้องการแหล่งโปรตีนมีมากขึ้นตามไปด้วย คณะผู้วิจัยจึงมีแนวความคิดที่จะหาสร้างระบบเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดที่มีประสิทธิภาพ

Vision-Based Spacecraft Pose Estimation

The capture of a target spacecraft by a chaser is an on-orbit docking operation that requires an accurate, reliable, and robust object recognition algorithm. Vision-based guided spacecraft relative motion during close-proximity maneuvers has been consecutively applied using dynamic modeling as a spacecraft on-orbit service system. This research constructs a vision-based pose estimation model that performs image processing via a deep convolutional neural network. The pose estimation model was constructed by repurposing a modified pretrained GoogLeNet model with the available Unreal Engine 4 rendered dataset of the Soyuz spacecraft. In the implementation, the convolutional neural network learns from the data samples to create correlations between the images and the spacecraft’s six degrees-of-freedom parameters. The experiment has compared an exponential-based loss function and a weighted Euclidean-based loss function. Using the weighted Euclidean-based loss function, the implemented pose estimation model achieved moderately high performance with a position accuracy of 92.53 percent and an error of 1.2 m. The in-attitude prediction accuracy can reach 87.93 percent, and the errors in the three Euler angles do not exceed 7.6 degrees. This research can contribute to spacecraft detection and tracking problems. Although the finished vision-based model is specific to the environment of synthetic dataset, the model could be trained further to address actual docking operations in the future.

A DIGITAL TWIN OF AN AQUARIUM FOR MONITORING WATER QUALITY

This research presents a Digital Twin of an Aquarium for Water Quality Monitoring, developing a virtual model that displays real-time key water parameters, including pH level, temperature, flow rate, and dissolved oxygen. Sensor data is processed and visualized through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to reflect the real-time status of the virtual aquarium. This system enables accurate water quality monitoring and analysis while reducing reliance on expensive software solutions.

Market Maturity Matters: Analyzing the Performance Impact of Listing Duration

Given the fact that the equity market contributes a significant amount to Thai economy and increasing participants and interest by Thai companies, these facts inspire and motivate us to establish a study to analyze whether the stock market can indeed be an active booster of company performances and characteristics of companies which will be beneficial from being in the stock market. These results can support higher listing interest from companies, provide actionable ideas to companies aiming to improve their performance in the competitive arena, and suggest improvements for the stock market to further establish a stronger capital market penetration and foundation in Thailand. The main hypothesis driving this project is to examine whether “aging in the market” contributes to measurable improvements in a company’s performance. Specifically, we seek to understand if the presence of Thai companies in the Stock Exchange of Thailand correlates with enhanced operational outcomes, thereby providing insights into the true benefits of public listing on long-term performance.
