EXCREMENT DETECTION DEVICE
To provide an excrement detection device which reduces a load of processing about the presence/absence of excrement and saves a storage capacity of a storage unit.SOLUTION: An excrement detection device comprises: an optical sensor 14 which images the inside of a bowl part 22 that receives excrement in a prescribed cycle; a storage unit 16 which stores captured image data; and an image processing unit 15 which determines the presence/absence of excrement being dropping into the bowl part based on the image data in each fixed time. The image processing unit stores the image data used for determination of the presence of excrement and the subsequent image data for the fixed time in the storage unit when there is excrement, and does not store the image data used for determination of the absence of excrement and the subsequent image data for the fixed time in the storage unit when there is no excrement.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】排泄物の有無に関する処理の負担を軽減し、且つ、記憶部の保存容量を節約する排泄物検知装置を提供する。【解決手段】排泄物を受けるボウル部２２の内部を所定周期で撮像する光学センサ１４と、撮像された画像データが記憶される記憶部１６と、一定時間ごとに前記画像データをもとに前記ボウル部内に落下中の排泄物の有無を判別する画像処理部１５と、を有し、前記画像処理部は、排泄物ありの場合は、排泄物ありの判別に用いた前記画像データとその後の一定時間分の前記画像データとを前記記憶部に保存する一方、排泄物なしの場合は、排泄物なしの判別に用いた前記画像データとその後の一定時間分の前記画像データとを前記記憶部に保存しない。【選択図】図１
