Abstract

In today's society, the number of people rearing pets has increased and their awareness of the need to protect pets' health has increased. Pet posture behaviour analysis and prediction are providing assistance in the medical treatment of pets. Hence, the demand for pet skeleton drawing applications has risen dramatically. Our proposed system predicts pet posture using smart camera networks powered by the artificial intelligence of things. This system is built on a platform using a Raspberry Pi embedded system. The system can determine from an image whether there is a detection target and generate a contour mask based on Mask R-CNN Technology. According to object detection, poses and key parts can be identified to predict and draw pet skeletons. Simultaneously, the behavioural action of a pet can be determined according to continuous skeleton data and then the system will actively inform the owner to perform subsequent processing.
