[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic identification method for aquatic ecological monitoring shore station based on artificial intelligence to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, specifically including:

[0034] Step 1, the sampling device obtains water at a certain depth below the water surface and collects it into a sample water cup; specifically, the water is automatically sampled and fed into the sample water cup through an online control system; wherein the sampling device includes a water sampling pump, a water sampling pipeline, a float, a coarse filter screen and a sample feed filter head.

[0035] Step 2, using a micro peristaltic pump to extract a certain amount of water sample from the sample cup and send it into the detection slide (sample pool);

[0036] Step 3, the biological microscope automatically focuses and takes photos of the phytoplankton and zooplankton in the water sample on the test slide. Specifically, the electric stage moves the field of view in the XY direction, while the microscope objective lens focuses vertically, and the clear microscopic image of the tissue on the slide is converted into a digital image through the electronic camera;

[0037] Step 4, using image preprocessing and image enhancement and classification recognition of the above digital image based on a deep learning model, and obtaining the phytoplankton and zooplankton identification and counting results on the membrane according to the output of the deep learning model;

[0038] In this embodiment, see the attached Figure 2 This is the result after digital image enhancement. See also Figure 3 A deep learning model is used to obtain recognition results and count according to classification. Specifically, in this embodiment, the following image enhancement and classification recognition method is used to classify phytoplankton and zooplankton; the specific image enhancement algorithm can be a histogram equalization image enhancement algorithm, a wavelet transform image enhancement algorithm, a partial differential equation image enhancement algorithm, an image enhancement algorithm based on Retinex theory, or an algorithm based on deep learning;

[0039] The result after digital image enhancement is used as the input of the deep learning model. The deep learning model of the present invention is specifically composed of four consecutive integrated convolutional layers composed of separable convolution ReLU and maximum pooling, a convolutional residual layer, and three consecutive integrated convolutional layers and classification layers. After the convolution residual layer outputs the features through the first layer of convolution, the network divides the features into multiple groups according to the number of channels, each group of features is Ri, and then convolution operation is performed on each group of features except Ri; the input of each calculation is composed of the previous group of residuals connected to the current group of features Ri; finally, all the obtained multi-scale features are spliced ​​and input into the next convolutional layer to obtain the output of the residual layer.

[0040] First, perform a deep convolution operation on the data in each channel of the input feature; then perform a point-by-point convolution operation using a convolution kernel of size 1×1×M, where M is the number of feature channels in the previous layer, and combine the outputs of different channels to obtain the final output result;

[0041] The present invention proposes that for the microscopic targets of phytoplankton and zooplankton, it is necessary to further improve the feature extraction capability on the basis of the traditional deep network. Therefore, a residual convolution layer is introduced to realize the downsampling features transmitted by the skip connection layer and realize the refined extraction of microscopic image information. At the same time, in order to reduce and reduce the number of parameters, all convolution layers are adjusted to deep separable convolution layers with a kernel size of 3X3. After the interval between the two is set, both the feature extraction capability of the network and the training efficiency of the network are satisfied.

[0042] At the same time, in the output layer, the present invention uses three consecutive full convolution and activation layers to further enhance the segmentation and recognition capabilities of tiny targets, and finally outputs them to the classification SoftMax layer to obtain the classification results of phytoplankton and zooplankton.

[0043] The acquisition of sample data of various phytoplankton and zooplankton used in the deep learning model and the deep learning training iterations are not elaborated here.

[0044] Step 5, statistically obtain the classification results of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the water body, provide the name, cell number, and location information of the species in each analysis field of view; summarize the Chinese name, Latin name, and species classification status of the identified species; statistically calculate the average single cell length, single cell width, single cell height, single cell diameter, single cell area, single cell volume, cell density, biomass, etc. of the species, and display the species diversity of the samples in the form of charts; calculate the Shannon-Wienner index, Margalef richness index, Pielou evenness index, Simpson ecological dominance index and water quality evaluation.

[0045] Step 6: extract the processed data according to the results of steps 3-5 to obtain the data to be displayed, transmit the data to be displayed to the data center, and the data center sends the corresponding display data and displays it to the user on the terminal.

[0046] See attached Figure 3 In this embodiment, the displayed data includes the classification name, physical morphology and biomass statistics, density ranking, and proportion statistical pie chart of each algae species in the water sample.

[0047] Optionally, the present invention further comprises step 7, pre-setting a monitoring warning value, and when the corresponding data exceeds the warning value, a text message or a data prompt on the platform can be used to remind the user to start the emergency plan.

[0048] In the second embodiment, the present invention provides an automatic identification system for water ecological monitoring shore stations based on artificial intelligence.

[0050] In the sample preparation unit, the biological microscope automatically focuses and takes photos of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the water sample on the test slide. The motorized stage moves the field of view in the XY direction, while the microscope objective lens focuses vertically, and the electronic camera converts the clear microscopic image of the tissue on the slide into a digital image;

The motorized stage moves the field of view in the XY direction, while the microscope objective lens focuses vertically, and the electronic camera converts the clear microscopic image of the tissue on the slide into a digital image;
