Method for counting and identifying fish species at a given location

摘要

The invention relates to a method for counting and identifying moving objects, P1 to PX, at a given location, characterised in that it comprises the following sequence of steps, implemented by computer means: ‐ recording a video of moving objects at a given location, starting at time Tinitial and finishing at time Tfinal, ‐ shape recognition of the moving objects by computer means in order to produce a dynamic trace of each of the recognised shapes P1 to PX, ‐ detecting, by means of image analysis, the maximum number of pixels associated with each recognised and traced object shape of fish P1 to PX, ‐ calibration of each trace of the object in relation to the general time-line of the entire video between Tinitial and Tfinal, ‐ visual determination of the identification of each object by an expert from the image of the video comprising a maximum number of pixels for each of objects P1 to PX and entering of the name of the identity of the object. The method applies in particular to the counting and determination of fish species.
