Scallop Detection from Sand-Seabed Images for Fishery Investigation

We propose a method of extracting scallop areas from sand seabed images to assess fish resources, and developed an automatic system that measures their quantities, sizes, and states for fisheries management. In the gravel field, we can see scallops feature, such as color, fluted patterns and shaped like fans. But, it is difficult for the scallop is covered with sand in the sand field. The present study is described our extracting method using limited features, and presented the result and its effectiveness.
