摘要: In aquaculture, the precise quantification of fish school density holds importance for the optimization of culture management. Nevertheless, the fish occlusion, their rapid movement, as well as the size variations attributable to fluctuating distances, poses great challenges to density estimation. To overcome the above issues, this study introduces a novel semi-supervised detection network, termed FNSE (Fish Net Semi-Supervised Estimator). Specifically, the network initially employs the VGG19 backbone network to extract the global features. Subsequently, the network employs a density-proxy-guided adaptive semi-supervised fish counting network to connect different image regions, so as to obtain reliable supervision signals. Furthermore, the network incorporates a regression head with a transformer. Which combines learnable regional and local regularization. It employs attention mechanisms for enhanced the processing ability. This addresses the considerable size variations in fish caused by the change of observation distance, thereby further refining foreground features. The experimental result demonstrates that, with only 40 % of the data labeled, the FNSE network attains an accuracy of 95.81 %, alongside a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 7.23 and a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 11.70. In comparison to DACount and MRCount, the FNSE network reduces the MAE from 9.49 and 10.27 to 7.23, signifying a substantial reduction in the MAE by approximately 24 % and 30 %, respectively, and concurrently surpassing other fully supervised methods. Therefore, the proposed FNSE can be effectively utilized for fish counting and density estimation in aquaculture and provides useful input for the development management system.
