Fish species recognition based on CNN using annotated image

Abstract

The objective of our research project is identify the fish species by using image processing technique. This paper proposes a novel feature-points representation method named annotated image. Furthermore, this paper proposes a fish species recognition method based on CNN using proposed annotated image. We collected 50 species of fish images, and applied to the proposed method. As the results, it was confirmed that the annotated image in which all four feature points are plotted into a channel, was obtained the highest recognition accuracy.
