Ontology-based insect recognition

Ontology for insect recognition is a powerful tool to express semantics of insects and to share the knowledge of insects. In this paper, the framework of ontology based insect recognition is proposed. The framework includes training layer, ontology layer and recognition layer as well as methods for communicating between different layers. The training layer includes insect image samples database, feature extraction, insect feature knowledge database, insect type knowledge database; the ontology layer includes insect image visual feature ontology, insect image media feature ontology, classification module, insect morphology and taxonomy ontology.
