Pollen Grains Contour Analysis on Verification Approach

چکیده
Earth’s biodiversity has been suffering the effects of human contamination, and as a result there are many species of plants and animals that are dying. Automatic recognition of pollen species by means of computer vision helps to locate specific species and through this identification, study all the diseases and predators which affect this specie, so biologist can improve methods to preserve this species. This work focuses on analysis and classification stages. A classification approach using binarization of pollen grain images, contour and feature extraction to locate the pollen grain objects within the images is being proposed. A Hidden Markov Model classifier was used to classify 17 genders and species from 11 different families of tropical honey bee’s plants achieving a mean of 98.77% of success.

Classifying Pollen Using Robust Sequence Alignment of Sparse Z-Stack Volumes
The identification of pollen grains is a task needed in many scientific and industrial applications, ranging from climate research to petroleum exploration. It is also a time-consuming task. To produce data, pollen experts spend hours, sometimes months, visually counting thousands of pollen grains from hundreds of images acquired by microscopes. Most current automation of pollen identification ...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Implicit Active Contours for Scientific Image Segmentation
The use of partial differential equations in image processing has become an active area of research in the last few years. In particular, active contours are being used for image segmentation, either explicitly as snakes, or implicitly through the level set approach. In this paper, we consider the use of the implicit active contour approach for segmenting scientific images of pollen grains obta...

Asthma and allergic diseases cases have risen in recent decades. Plant pollen is considered as the main aeroallergen causing allergic reactions. According to available data, urban residents experience more respiratory allergies than rural residents mainly due to the interaction between chemical air pollutants and pollen grains. This interaction can occur through several mechanisms; chemical pol...
