Species Recognition System (SRS)

Software designed to capture and store images of macroinvertebrates using the the SRS system.

Change log

v1.9.0.0 Reworked Detection Algorithm

• Improved version of previous Single Layer Difference Algorithm
• New algorithm uses full RGB layer of image and calibration
• Changed to Absolute Difference calculation into Intensity layer threshold

Previous Method:

New Method:

v1.8.0.0

Reworked GUI

Implemented run-time stats

• Per camera stats
• Mean Area
• Total number of images
• Current sample number

Minor Changes

• Reworked Backend
• Changed total number of images to per sample
• Fixed graphical error in Camera number

v1.7.0.0

Implemented local camera ID system to support several systems.

Main Systems

Modified Camera ID connection algorithm.

• Check for local ID file > if found > try connection > if failed > request new ID and retry
• If no local ID file is found > request new ID > try connection
• If no file and no connection to micro controller > displays error

Arduino Changes

Added Camera ID to Linear Actuator flash.

Added Camera ID request to Linear Actuator Script.

• "108" returns Cam1 ID
• "109" returns Cam2 ID

v1.6.0.20

Fixed error with binary filter threshold.

Fixed error with blue plane extract memory allocation

Added detection error in Stats pane

Fixed error with camera view scaling

v1.6.0.0

Added new data file (one row per image) containing:

• All original columns (Name, data, operator, etc.).
• Image file name.
• Per image parameters (Max feret, perimeter, area, holes, area + holes).
• ROI descriptor (used for future recalculations of image parameters).
