Automatic accounting of Baikal diatomic algae: approaches and prospects

Abstract

Using the TensorFlow Object Detection API, an approach to identifying and registering Baikal diatom species Synedra acus subsp. radians has been tested. As a result, a set of images was formed and training was conducted. It is shown that аfter 15000 training iterations, the total value of the loss function was obtained equal to 0,04. At the same time, the classification accuracy is equal to 95%, and the accuracy of construction of the bounding box is also equal to 95%.
