Abstract

The non-destructive measurement of fish is an important link in intelligent aquaculture, and realizing the accurate estimation of fish mass is the key to the stable operation of this link. Taking tilapia as the object, this study proposes an underwater tilapia mass estimation method, which can accurately estimate the mass of free-swimming tilapia under non-contact conditions. First, image enhancement is performed on the original image, and the depth image is obtained by correcting and stereo matching the enhanced image using binocular stereo vision technology. And the fish body is segmented by an SAM model. Then, the segmented fish body is labeled with key points, thus realizing the 3D reconstruction of tilapia. Five mass estimation models are established based on the relationship between the body length and the mass of tilapia, so as to realize the mass estimation of tilapia. The results showed that the average relative errors of the method models were 5.34%~7.25%. The coefficient of determination of the final tilapia mass estimation with manual measurement was 0.99, and the average relative error was 5.90%. The improvement over existing deep learning methods is about 1.54%. This study will provide key technical support for the non-destructive measurement of tilapia, which is of great significance to the information management of aquaculture, the assessment of fish growth condition, and baiting control.
