Automated detection and counting of Artemia using U-shaped fully convolutional networks and deep convolutional networks

作者:

Highlights:

• Automated Artemia detection is challenging and has so far never been addressed.

• A marker proposal network using U-shaped fully convolutional networks is designed.

• The marker proposal network can separate adjacent objects and obtain candidates.

• A target classifier using deep convolutional networks is built.

• The proposed method can accurately detect Artemia objects in images.
