Computer Vision Based Identification of Dengue Mosquitoes from Images

Abstract

The proposed work detects and identifies the Dengue mosquito from the images based on its xdescriptor values. Dengue mosquito is a carrier of dengue virus which causes the hemorrhagic fever. The image is identified as dengue or normal mosquito image. Further, the dengue mosquito image is identified for a male dengue mosquito or female dengue mosquito.  The descriptor values of size, stripes on legs, slender body and color are extracted. The accuracy of identification of mosquito and other insects is found to be 98%. The accuracy of identification of dengue mosquito and other mosquito is found to be 97%. Similarly, accuracy of male and female mosquitoes is found to be 98.5%.
