Egg clutch or young animal detection method for use in agricultural or horticultural environments, comprises sensors mounted on the front of processing machinery that detect raised temperatures and control machinery accordingly

摘要

Infrared sensors are used to measure temperatures in the path of a processing machine. The measured temperatures are compared with a threshold and ground processing machinery lifted if: temperatures are above a threshold, thus indicating the presence of an animal, brood or clutch, or if the measurement values are in the threshold region and a checking of the object surroundings indicate an animal, brood or clutch. An Independent claim is made for an arrangement for detecting egg clutches, young animals or broods in agricultural or horticultural environments.
