A Feature-based Classifier for Dragonflies and Damselflies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unique patterns present in the wings of dragonflies and damselflies can be used to determine their family, genus, and species. A method for classifying dragonflies and damselflies using a particular pattern known as the triangle was developed using scanned images of the wings. Digital image processing techniques, such as image segmentation and feature detection, are used to determine properties of the triangle useful for classification. These properties are then compared against a triangle property database of known dragonflies and damselflies. A prototype implementing this method has been shown to demonstrate a high degree of accuracy.

Eco-mechanics of lamellar autotomy in larval damselflies.
In larval damselflies, the self-amputation (autotomy) of the caudal lamellae permits escape from predatory larval dragonflies. Lamellar joint size declines among populations with increasing risk of dragonfly predation, but the breaking force required for autotomy and the biomechanical factors that influence breaking force are unknown. If autotomy enhances survival in larval damselflies, then pr...
متن کاملPhylogeny affects host's weight, immune response and parasitism in damselflies and dragonflies
Host-parasite interactions are an intriguing part of ecology, and understanding how hosts are able to withstand parasitic attacks, e.g. by allocating resources to immune defence, is important. Damselflies and dragonflies show a variety of parasitism patterns, but large-scale comparative immune defence studies are rare, and it is difficult to say what the interplay is between their immune defenc...

متن کاملEvolutionary avenues for, and constraints on, the transmission of frog lung flukes (Haematoloechus spp.) in dragonfly second intermediate hosts.
Metacercariae survival patterns and their distribution in second intermediate odonate hosts were examined for 4 species of frog lung flukes. Surveys of aquatic larvae and recently emerged teneral dragonflies and damselflies indicated that prevalence and mean abundance of Haematoloechus spp. metacercariae were significantly lower in teneral dragonflies than larval dragonflies, while there was no...
متن کاملFeature selection using genetic algorithm for breast cancer diagnosis: experiment on three different datasets
Objective(s): This study addresses feature selection for breast cancer diagnosis. The present process uses a wrapper approach using GA-based on feature selection and PS-classifier. The results of experiment show that the proposed model is comparable to the other models on Wisconsin breast cancer datasets. Materials and Methods: To evaluate effectiveness of proposed feature selection method, we ...
