Emphasizing practical applications, this volume
reveals how computer vision and image processing improve fish quality
control at every stage of production, including:
- inspection, measurement and sorting
- analysis for various operations
- examining fish behavior
- spotting fishing areas for catches from satellites
This reference also offers ready-to-use methods and explores computer
technology potentials in the fishing, fish product, and aquaculture industries,
and in marine biology.
