Abstract

An experiment on the automatic population measurement of brown Mealy Bugs is first reported in this article. Several image processing techniques are employed along with mapping function and neural network. Though brown Mealy Bugs are difficult to detect because of their camouflage, the experimental results showed that approximately 74% of them were correctly detected.
