Research highlight
I use image analysis to quantify and visualize the animals and plants, as well as the environments in aquaculture and agriculture, in order to support the local primary industries. Specifically, I work on the automatic numeration of scallops (Figure 1), star fishes and algae, dynamic measurements of salmon and tuna, harvest prediction of tomato and bamboo shoots, and quality assessment of shiitake mushrooms (Figure 2).
