Overview of the application of computer vision technology in fish farming

Abstract

The issues that are currently identified in Russia during the implementation of Digital Agriculture project are considered. The main issues that need to be addressed in development of modern digital technologies in the fish farming industry using natural and artificial reservoirs are highlighted. Aqua engineering trends and scientific works of a number of teams that conduct research and use the capabilities of deep machine learning, are analyzed. Particular attention was paid to specific tasks and research results that solve applied problems in the field of aquaculture and fish farming. Conclusions are made about the prospects for implementing these objectives in Russia. The conclusions of scientific teams and new tasks set as a result of scientific experiments are considered. The main directions in the area of commercial fish farming that need active adaptation of computer vision to deal with applied problems, are identified. Questions of efficiency in introduction of neural networks of deep learning are raised, and also conclusions are drawn on introduction of the term “selectivity” to determine the relation of a data set received by a digital method, referred to quantity of the same data which would be received at their collection by means of non-digital technologies.
