Precise weight estimation is crucial in mitigating issues of overfeeding and underfeeding, thus enhancing efficiency and productivity in shrimp farming. The proposed system leverages image processing techniques to detect individual live shrimp and extract pertinent features for weight estimation within a clay pond environment. Specifically, an automated feed tray captures images of live shrimp, which are then processed using a combination of Detectron2, PyTorch, and CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) for individual shrimp detection. Essential features such as area, perimeter, width, length, and posture are extracted through image analysis, enabling accurate estimation of shrimp weight. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model, utilizing these features, accurately predicts shrimp weight with a coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>) of 94.50% when incorporating all extracted features. Furthermore, our system integrates a user-friendly web application that empowers farmers to monitor shrimp weight trends, facilitating precision feeding strategies and effective farm management.
