    Automatic counting of Varroa mites

    Thank you. You're definitely right, it's not easy, especially when you want to use pure image manipulation in software like ImageJ. I personally tried it too, but with OpenCV library. That's where Machine learning comes handy with its Neural Nets (NN) which can provide very good results...

    Automatic counting of Varroa mites

    well, you're not far from the truth. I rather prefer the term Software Developer/Engineer though, as the nature of work of a "programmer" differs in my mind. Either way, is it something that's concerning? Honestly, I found the project interesting, it tries to address a real-world problem, that...

    Automatic counting of Varroa mites

    Also I need to mention this: If an image you're sending contains too many mites it might be almost impossible to list all their positions in the body of the email message. Anyway, if you're comfortable with computers, you could open a copy of the image in a photo editing tool or "Paint" (in...

    Automatic counting of Varroa mites

    To be honest, I need as many images as soon as possible. I've got the entire summer to finish my project (3 months, deadline: beginning of September). It might look like a plenty of time, but it's not. The model training itself is a very time consuming process and so is the preparation of the...

    Automatic counting of Varroa mites

    Hi everyone! I'd like to ask you for help with my MSc project the objective of which is to automate counting of Varroa mites from images. I'm about to use machine learning, more specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to detect mites in images. However, this requires me to train a CNN...
