An image processing and neural network fusion-based water organism recognition and matching method

This invention discloses a method for aquatic organism identification and matching based on image processing and neural network fusion, belonging to the fields of underwater robotics and marine resource development. In the underwater environment, due to the attenuation of the red light channel, images captured by camera equipment generally have a greenish tint, and identification of various aquatic organisms is difficult and slow. Existing algorithms directly identify organisms based on the acquired underwater images, resulting in poor accuracy and slow processing speed due to depth estimation applied to the entire image. This invention performs red light channel compensation on the original underwater image, and image preprocessing achieves underwater image restoration. Then, a dedicated DarkNet neural network is used to identify and classify various aquatic organisms. Finally, based on a binocular camera, targets that meet threshold requirements are identified using DBNet for ORB matching to obtain matching features, facilitating subsequent depth calculation by the binocular camera. Compared with existing algorithms, this method is easier to use, and improves the quality of the restored image, the underwater organism identification rate, the depth estimation accuracy, and the processing speed.
