Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PEST DETECTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006101654
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and methods for detecting presence and movement of pests. Various embodiments of a pest detection system can be based on, for example, a beam- interrupt detector or a thermal imaging device. The beam- interrupt detection based system (234, 400) can provide functionalities such as counting of pests crossing a given beam (126) . A plurality of such beams at different heights can also allow distinguishing different sized pests. The thermal imaging based detection system can provide functionalities such as tracking movement of pests. A recording can be triggered by detection of pest movement, thereby improving the efficiency of recording and reviewing information indicative of presence and movement of pests in a monitored area. Movement of pests can be monitored on a passive basis, or by providing a stimulus that induces movement.
