PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION OF THE LARVAE OF AEDES ALBOPICTUS AND AEDES AEGYPTI

摘要

A computerised process and system for identifying the larvae of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in a sample. The process involves image processing of part of the larvae, the comb, and using distinctive angle between features in the image to identify the larvae. This involves identifying the boundary of the features, transforming the boundaries into vectors, averaging the angles between the various vectors and comparing the angles to a threshold to identify the larvae.
