Catfish Fry Detection and Counting Using YOLO Algorithm

Abstract

The development of computer vision technology is growing very fast and penetrating all sectors, including fisheries. This research focuses on detecting and counting catfish fry. This research aims to apply deep learning in detecting catfish fry objects and counting accurately so as to help farmers and buyers reduce the risk of loss. The detection system in this research uses digital image processing techniques as a way to obtain information from the detection object. The research method uses YOLO Object Detection which has a very fast ability to identify objects. The object detected is a catfish puppy object that is given a bounding box and the detection label displays the class name and precision value. The dataset amounted to 321 images of catfish puppies from internet and photography sources that were trained to produce a new digital image model. The number of split training, validation and testing datasets is worth 831 annotation images, 83 validation images and 83 images for the testing process. The value of the training model mAP 50.39 %, Precision 61.17 % and Recall 58 % Detection test results based on the YOLO method obtained an accuracy rate of 65.7%. The avg loss value in the final model built with YOLO is 4.6%. Based on the results of tests carried out with the number of objects 50 to 500 tail size 2-8 cm using video, objects in the image are successfully recognized with an accuracy of 63% to 70%. Calculations using the YOLO algorithm show quite good results.
