At present, fish farming still uses manual identification methods. With the rapid development of deep learning, the application of computer vision in agriculture and farming to achieve agricultural intelligence has become a current research hotspot. We explored the use of facial recognition in fish. We collected and produced a fish identification dataset with 3412 images and a fish object detection dataset with 2320 images. A rotating box is proposed to detect fish, which avoids the problem where the traditional object detection produces a large number of redundant regions and affects the recognition accuracy. A self-SE module and a fish face recognition network (FFRNet) are proposed to implement the fish face identification task. The experiments proved that our model has an accuracy rate of over 90% and an FPS of 200.

Due to memory and computing resources limitations, deploying convolutional neural networks on embedded and mobile devices is challenging. However, the redundant use of the 1 × 1 convolution in traditional light-weight networks, such as MobileNetV1, has increased the computing time. By utilizing the 1 × 1 convolution that plays a vital role in extracting local features more effectively, a new lightweight network, named PlaneNet, is introduced. PlaneNet can improve the accuracy and reduce the numbers of parameters and multiply-accumulate operations (Madds). Our model is evaluated on classification and semantic segmentation tasks. In the classification tasks, the CIFAR-10, Caltech-101, and ImageNet2012 datasets are used. In the semantic segmentation task, PlaneNet is tested on the VOC2012 datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that PlaneNet (74.48%) can obtain higher accuracy than MobileNetV3-Large (73.99%) and GhostNet (72.87%) and achieves state-of-the-art performance with fewer network parameters in both tasks. In addition, compared with the existing models, it has reached the practical application level on mobile devices. The code of PlaneNet on GitHub: https://github.com/LinB203/planenet.

Colonoscopy is currently one of the main methods for the detection of rectal polyps, rectal cancer, and other diseases. With the rapid development of computer vision, deep learning–based semantic segmentation methods can be applied to the detection of medical lesions. However, it is challenging for current methods to detect polyps with high accuracy and real-time performance. To solve this problem, we propose a multi-branch feature fusion network (MBFFNet), which is an accurate real-time segmentation method for detecting colonoscopy. First, we use UNet as the basis of our model architecture and adopt stepwise sampling with channel multiplication to integrate features, which decreases the number of flops caused by stacking channels in UNet. Second, to improve model accuracy, we extract features from multiple layers and resize feature maps to the same size in different ways, such as up-sampling and pooling, to supplement information lost in multiplication-based up-sampling. Based on mIOU and Dice loss with cross entropy (CE), we conduct experiments in both CPU and GPU environments to verify the effectiveness of our model. The experimental results show that our proposed MBFFNet is superior to the selected baselines in terms of accuracy, model size, and flops. mIOU, F score, and Dice loss with CE reached 0.8952, 0.9450, and 0.1602, respectively, which were better than those of UNet, UNet++, and other networks. Compared with UNet, the flop count decreased by 73.2%, and the number of participants also decreased. The actual segmentation effect of MBFFNet is only lower than that of PraNet, the number of parameters is 78.27% of that of PraNet, and the flop count is 0.23% that of PraNet. In addition, experiments on other types of medical tasks show that MBFFNet has good potential for general application in medical image segmentation.
