Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, I have developed mainly image processing technique of detecting the shape of the mouse and the contour shape of the red sea bream. In the mouse detection, I have applied to the red sea bream the method using Active Appearance Model which is popular for human face recognition. In the contour shape detection, I have applied to the red sea bream the binary processing method, edge detection method and line detection method. The result of our research was as follows. In the mouse detection, the method using Active Appearance Model is weak for extreme deformed mouse and for an improper inclination angle of the face area to the camera. In the contour shape detection,the capability of detecting the deformed fly has been largely enhanced and the tact time for sorting the deformed fly has been highly shortened.
