Ausgangslage

The potential of image processing, deep learning and latest camera technology shall be tested and evaluated on the field. The ultimate goal is improve efficiency of production by facilitating decision taking and improving quality of the juveniles.

Vorgehen

- Selection of the right vision system (camera, lens, illumination, filters). - Classification of swimbladder inflation with deep learning - Evaluation of weaning performance - Classification of quality of the juveniles (no injuiries or abnormalities) and measurement of the size heterogeneity - Potential of automated sorting system according to development, quality and size
