Design and implementation of remote fish disease video diagnosis expert system

Abstract

In the process of aquaculture, farmers usually cannot make accurate diagnosis for the sudden fish disease. And they can hardly take treatment measures timely and effectively. They need to get professional advice and guidance from the fish disease experts. This often results to miss the best treatment time. The fish disease usually spreads rapidly and the fish may dead massively which causes a loss to the farmers. Even under the condition of relatively rich communication ways, it is difficult for experts to observed the field aquaculture environment intuitively in real-time, the dynamic condition and anatomical details of the fish. All these information are the key elements for the fish disease diagnosis. In this article, for the actual demand of the fish disease diagnosis and the characteristics of aquaculture, we develop a real-time and remote fish disease video diagnosis expert system based on the internet communication technology. The system can transmit the aquaculture environment condition, the fish disease characteristics, and the anatomical details to the remote online expert accurately. The system realizes the effective communication between the field personnel and the expert. The expert can make the accurate diagnosis of the fish disease and give the effective treatment measure through these bounds of information. Thus, a huge economic loss may be avoided.
