Abstract :
In this research, we propose a method to extract scallop areas in seabed images in order to construct a system that can measure automatically the number, size, and state of fishery resources, especially scallops, by analyzing seabed images. Our algorithm is based on information on the hue and characteristic pattern scallop shells. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated through an experiment.
