Example (b):
in this embodiment, the shrimp larvae are used as the penaeus vannamei boone, the experimental facility is shown in fig. 1, and includes a notebook computer, a circular white ceramic bowl, a camera support, a single lens reflex camera and the like, and the experimental environment is as follows: MATLAB R2014B, processor: intel (R) core (TM) i5-4590 CPU @3.30GHZ 3.30GHZ, mounted memory (RAM): 4.00GB, the specific process of counting analysis of the prawn fry is as follows:
the first step is as follows: image acquisition, the specific image acquisition process is as follows:
(1) setting a camera in a viewing range, adjusting the position of the camera, and adjusting the bracket to correctly display the image;
(2) camera setting, selecting a proper camera scene mode;
(3) the camera is set to automatically adjust the focal length and the aperture, automatically perform white balance, and perform sampling under different indoor illumination intensities;
(4) the acquired shrimp fry image is shown in fig. 4 after being captured and stored, and the acquired shrimp fry image has the following characteristics as can be seen from fig. 4: (1) the image illumination of the shrimp larvae background is uneven, and the images are collected at different time and places, so that incident light with different angles is generated, the shrimp larvae image backgrounds are different, and the identification difficulty is increased; (2) due to the characteristics of strong self-structure and light transmission of the shrimp larvae, the imaging gray values of the head, the trunk and the tail of the shrimp larvae are different, especially the imaging of the trunk and the tail are approximately integrated with the background, and the difficulty of extracting characteristic points and removing the background is increased; (3) part of shrimp larvae are densely distributed and adhered, so that the difficulty in segmentation and counting is increased;
the second step is that: image pre-processing
3.1 illumination normalization
(1) TV-L1 model
The TV-L1 model is a classic model in the field of image restoration proposed by Chan T F, Eedeglolu S and the like, mainly solves the inverse processing problem of restoring an original image from an observed image, and is a regularization method aiming at saving image details while smoothing the image; chen et al propose an algorithm for image layering and background checking using the TV-L1 model, so that the image can be filtered using the TV-L1 model as a low pass operator to achieve an edge-preserving image smoothing effect:
Figure GDA0003307761790000061
wherein f is an observed image containing noise, u is a restored image,
Figure GDA0003307761790000062
for the image gradient operator, λ is a penalty parameter. The first term on the right side of the equation is called a smoothing term, and the smoothing term has a smoothing effect on the image and can remove noise; the second term on the right side of the equation is a data item which represents the similarity degree of the restored image and the observed image;
from the gradient descent equation:
Figure GDA0003307761790000063
to obtain
Figure GDA0003307761790000064
After Jacobi iterative computation, the following results are obtained:
Figure GDA0003307761790000071
wherein the content of the first and second substances,

Figure GDA0003307761790000074
Figure GDA0003307761790000075
thus, the observation image f obtains a smooth image u after iterative convergence;
(2) improved TV-L1 model
When the image has large non-uniform illumination influence, the content of the image is often covered in a darker area, and the image detail of low-value gray scale can be effectively enhanced by the image enhancement technology based on logarithmic transformation, so the embodiment proposes to improve the TV-L1 model by means of taking logarithm.
For the observation image f, after logarithmic enhancement, the following results are obtained:
F=logf (20)
and F was used as the subject.

Solving by a gradient descent equation to obtain:
Figure GDA0003307761790000077
wherein c is1、c2、c3、c4Is shown in formula (16)(17) Formula (18) formula (19);
(3) illumination normalization
The illumination normalization algorithm of the image is to remove the influence of illumination from the non-uniform illumination image through image transformation to obtain the image without illumination change. Many illumination normalization algorithms have been proposed by researchers. Wang et al propose a quotient image model, which uses a quotient image of an observed image and a gaussian smooth image as an illumination normalization result, which can be applied to any single image, but gaussian smoothing cannot well maintain edge details in a low-frequency illumination field, and in this embodiment, according to the characteristics that a shrimp larva image has strong light transmittance and is not easy to segment a background and a target image, propose that an improved TV-L1 model is used as a low-pass filter operator to estimate an illumination component, and define a quotient image of an observed image in a logarithmic domain and a smooth image obtained by processing with the improved TV-L1 model as an illumination normalization result image:
generally speaking, the illumination normalization method simulates the observation image F as the product of the illumination component l and the reflection component r, and the illumination component is estimated to further obtain the reflection component as the illumination-independent quantity estimation, so that the embodiment has the advantages that
F=r·l (22)
Using the modified TV-L1 model as the low pass filter operator E, the illumination component estimate is obtained as
Figure GDA0003307761790000081
Denotes the convolution of the signal. Defining a Logarithmic Quotient Image (LQI) as
Figure GDA0003307761790000082
Define Quotient Image (QI) as
Figure GDA0003307761790000083
In the formula, u is a smooth image obtained after the TV-L1 model is processed, and the effect of illumination normalization of the quotient image comes from the assumption that: the low-frequency component with slow change in a large range in the image is a result of the influence of illumination change, and the image obtained by filtering with a similar low-pass filter operator can be regarded as an image reflecting the illumination change, so that the normalization of illumination is realized by performing pixel-by-pixel quotient operation on the smooth image, and the illumination invariant representation of the image is obtained.
The method has the advantages that a TV-L1 model is used as a low-pass filter operator to estimate the illumination change image in an image number domain, the halo phenomenon of the common low-pass operator acting on a high-frequency region can be eliminated, part of noise is removed, certain edge keeping characteristics are achieved, parameter setting is simple, only one parameter lambda is needed, a clear image can be obtained by adjusting lambda, the larger the value of lambda is, the greater the punishment on a data item is, the clearer the image is, and when the parameter lambda acts with a smooth item, the edge characteristics of the image can be better kept; in the actual test process, the histogram equalization in the prior art can only improve the contrast of the image in a limited way, the TV-L1 model is used as a low-pass filter operator to carry out self-quotient (quotient of the observed image and the smooth image) processing, although the illumination influence can be removed, partial noise exists, the logarithm of the image is taken to reduce the pixel difference between the gray values, namely, the low-value gray value is expanded to compress the high-value gray value, and then the self-quotient processing is carried out, so that the effect is obviously improved.
3.2 image morphology processing
The application of mathematical morphology can simplify image data, and remove incoherent structures while keeping the basic shape characteristics of the image data, and the embodiment finds that shrimp seeds have the problems of adhesion, edge burrs and the like after eliminating halation and partial impurity influence on the image, so that on the basis of the image subjected to light normalization processing, a flat disc structural element with the radius of 4 is selected to perform expansion processing on the image, and then a flat disc structural element with the radius of 9 is selected to perform corrosion operation on the image, so that the shrimp seeds adhered together are separated;
3.3 image binarization
In order to make the subsequent counting more accurate, the shrimp seeds with different gray-scale pixels are required to be countedThe most important problem in the binarization process is the threshold value selection problem, if a threshold value iteration mode is adopted, a more appropriate threshold value can be automatically obtained through a program, however, multiple experiments show that the threshold value iteration mode is simple, but the slight part of the image has no good discrimination, in some specific images, the change of fine data can cause great change of the segmentation effect, and in the test, the maximum inter-class variance method provided by the OTSU is found0The method is simple to operate, high in processing speed and good in detail processing of the image during segmentation, so that the method is adopted to determine the optimal threshold value and segment the image;
4 shrimp fry counting
Based on the existing image characteristics, the number of connected areas is directly read from the preprocessed image to serve as a final data result, obviously, higher accuracy rate is difficult to obtain, the shrimp seeds are different in size, some shrimp seeds are adhered, if the corrosion scale is too large, the small-area shrimp seeds can be eliminated, if the corrosion scale is too small, the adhered areas are difficult to separate, and in order to solve the problem that the characteristic areas of the shrimp seeds are different in size, the connected areas are marked firstly, the average area of the preprocessed shrimp seeds is obtained, and then the number of the shrimp seeds is determined according to the ratio of the marked connected area to the average area in the set comparison interval.
4.1 calculation of average area, the specific steps are as follows:
(1) using a connected region marking algorithm, adopting an 8-connected region traversal image, and solving the number of connected regions as a;
(2) arranging the connected regions in ascending order, only before counting
Figure GDA0003307761790000101
The area average of each connected region is recorded as Avg
(3) According to the previously calculated Avg, the area of a communication area between 0.5Avg and 1.5Avg is counted, the average value Avg is calculated again and compared with the original average value, the Avg is updated continuously, and the step is repeated until the average area Avg does not change any more;
4.2 handling strategy at count
When the shrimp larvae are counted, aiming at the connected areas with different sizes, the processing mode is as follows:
(1) during the morphological processing, the shrimp larvae eyes separate from the body, causing counting errors. When the area S of the connected region is less than 0.3Avg, the counting is not carried out;
(2) in the pretreatment, part of the shrimp fries are excessively corroded, and the part of the image with S being more than or equal to 0.3Avg and less than or equal to Avg is calculated according to one shrimp fry;
(3) the adhesion problem of the shrimp seedlings is solved, the area of a communication area generally meets the condition that Avg is less than S, and the number K of the shrimp seedlings is calculated according to the formula (26):
Figure GDA0003307761790000102
wherein K is an integer, Si is the area of the connected region, round is a rounding function;
4.3 counting procedure
The specific counting process of the shrimp larvae is as follows:
(1) marking the connected areas by using a sequential marking method, and calculating the number of the connected areas as a;
(2) respectively calculating the areas of the connected regions, sorting the connected regions from small to large, storing the connected regions into an array S, and assigning n1 to be 0 and n2 to be 0;
(3) averaging Avg according to the method for updating Avg in 4.1, and sequentially taking out the elements Si in S;
(4) if S [ i ]]When the average value is less than 0.3Avg, the count is 0; if S [ i ]]Greater than Avg, then
Figure GDA0003307761790000103
n1 ═ n1+ K; if 0.3Avg is less than or equal to Si]If the content is less than or equal to Avg, n2 is n2+ 1;
(5) and when i is larger than a, N is N1+ N2, the algorithm is ended, and the shrimp fry counting is completed.
