YOLO fish detection with Euclidean tracking in fish farms

The activities of managing fish farms, like fish ponds surveillance , are one of the tough and costly fish farmers' missions. Generally, these activities are done manually, wasting time and money for fish farmers. A method is introduced in this paper which improves fish detection and fish trajectories where the water conditions is challenging. Image Enhancement algorithm is used at first to improve unclear images. Object Detection algorithm is then used on the enhanced images to detect fish. In the end, features like fish count and trajectories are extracted from the coordinates of the detected objects. Our method aims for better fish tracking and detection over fish ponds in fish farms.

Automated summary

This study introduces a method that improves fish detection and tracking under challenging water conditions by using image enhancement and object detection algorithms.
