摘要:

精确识别个体奶牛是智能畜牧业中全面数字管理的基本前提。尽管现有动物识别方法在受控的单摄像头环境下表现优异,但他们在跨摄像头泛化方面面临严峻挑战。当在源摄像头上训练的模型部署到新的监控节点,这些节点具有不同的光照、背景、视角和异质成像特性时,识别性能往往会显著下降。这限制了非接触技术在动态、现实农场环境中的大规模应用。为了解决这一挑战,本研究提出了一种基于解耦表示学习的跨摄像头奶牛识别框架。该框架利用了牛视觉识别中的子空间可辨识性保证(SIG)理论。通过建模底层的物理数据生成过程,我们设计了一个原理驱动的特征解耦模块,将观测图像分解为多个正交的潜在子空间。这种机制有效地隔离了在不同摄像头下保持不变的、与身份相关的生物特征,从而显著提高了对未见摄像头的泛化能力。我们构建了一个覆盖五个不同摄像头节点的高质量数据集,涵盖了异质采集设备和复杂的光照和角度变化。在七个跨摄像头任务上的广泛实验表明,所提出的方法实现了86.0%的平均准确率,显著优于源-only基线(51.9%)和最强的跨摄像头基线方法(79.8%)。本工作建立了一个子空间理论特征解耦框架,用于协作的跨摄像头奶牛识别,为在不受控的智能农场环境中实现精确动物监控提供了新的范式。

英文摘要:

Precise identification of individual cows is a fundamental prerequisite for comprehensive digital management in smart livestock farming. While existing animal identification methods excel in controlled, single-camera settings, they face severe challenges regarding cross-camera generalization. When models trained on source cameras are deployed to new monitoring nodes characterized by divergent illumination, backgrounds, viewpoints, and heterogeneous imaging properties, recognition performance often degrades dramatically. This limits the large-scale application of non-contact technologies in dynamic, real-world farming environments. To address this challenge, this study proposes a cross-camera cow identification framework based on disentangled representation learning. This framework leverages the Subspace Identifiability Guarantee (SIG) theory in the context of bovine visual recognition. By modeling the underlying physical data generation process, we designed a principle-driven feature disentanglement module that decomposes observed images into multiple orthogonal latent subspaces. This mechanism effectively isolates stable, identity-related biometric features that remain invariant across cameras, thereby substantially improving generalization to unseen cameras. We constructed a high-quality dataset spanning five distinct camera nodes, covering heterogeneous acquisition devices and complex variations in lighting and angles. Extensive experiments across seven cross-camera tasks demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an average accuracy of 86.0%, significantly outperforming the Source-only Baseline (51.9%) and the strongest cross-camera baseline method (79.8%). This work establishes a subspace-theoretic feature disentanglement framework for collaborative cross-camera cow identification, offering a new paradigm for precise animal monitoring in uncontrolled smart farming environments.
