Abstract

Provided is an insect monitoring device including a tube. An attractor is positioned at an entrance to the tube, and an imaging device is configured for producing data associated with a monitored insect, wherein the data being usable in machine learning.

Claims (32)

1 . A specimen monitoring device, comprising:

a tube;

an attractor positioned at an entrance to the tube; and

an imaging device configured for producing data associated with a monitored specimen, the data being usable in machine learning.

2 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 1 , further comprising a fan and a tunnel within the tube, the fan being configured for generating an airstream within the tunnel.

3 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 1 , wherein the device catalogs the produced data.

4 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 1 , further comprising a cartridge.

5 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 4 , wherein the cartridge further comprises a wind-up screen, the wind-up screen being configured to collect a set of specimen.

6 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 1 , wherein the data collected comprises one or more photographic images.

7 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 1 , wherein the produced data includes a specimen count.

8 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 1 , wherein the attractor includes at least one from the group including carbon dioxide, heat, and light.

9 . A specimen monitoring device, comprising:

an elongated housing;

an attracting device positioned at one end of the housing for attracting a specimen;

a fan positioned in the vicinity of the elongated housing for creating an airflow, the airflow being configured for moving an attracted specimen through the housing to a capture device; and

an imager configured for creating data associated with the specimen captured in the capture device; and

a transmitter configured for transmitting the created data.

10 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 9 , wherein the capture device is a screen.

11 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 9 , wherein the specimen monitoring device is mounted on an outdoor luminaire.

12 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 9 , further comprising a valve configured to cut off an air stream in the tunnel and pull the specimen against a screen.

13 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 12 , wherein the valve being further configured to change the direction of the air stream and blow the specimen off of the screen.

14 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 9 , wherein the device is located between a photoelectric controller and a photoelectric receptacle on an outdoor luminaire.

15 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 9 , wherein the device is configured to catalog the specimen activity in a designated area.

16 . The specimen monitoring device of claim 9 , further comprising a housing exit configured for releasing the specimen.

17 . A method of monitoring a specimen in a geographic area via a specimen monitoring device, the method comprising:

attracting the specimen to the specimen monitoring device via an attraction device;

pulling the specimen into a chamber of the device;

capturing an image of the specimen within the chamber; and

analyzing the captured image to produce image data.

18 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising cataloging image data.

19 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising providing the image data to a data base for machine learning.

20 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising releasing the specimen through an exit of the device.
