Se estima que cerca del 30% del alimento consumido por la población mundial es derivado de cultivos polinizados por abejas. La infestación por Nosemiasis es una de las principales causas de la pérdida de colmenas a nivel mundial. Los métodos de laboratorio para el diagnóstico del nivel de infestación por este microsporidio son lentos, caros y demandan la presencia de un experto. Se propone un sistema automático, confiable y económico de cuantificación de infestación por Nosema, a partir del procesamiento digital de imágenes.Con el uso de técnicas de segmentación de imágenes, caracterización de objetos y conteo de formas se han reproducido la técnican de Cantwell y Hemocitómetro de manera automática. Para el conteo de esporas se implementaron tres descriptores el tamaño, la excentricidad y la circularidad, de manera tal que son invariantes a la escala y rotación de las imágenes. Se trabajó con un total de 375 fotografías agrupadas en carpetas de 5, las cuales fueron previamente etiquetadas por un experto según el nivel de infestación (muy leve, leve, moderado, semifuerte y fuerte). Con ello se alcanzó un porcentaje de diagnóstico correcto de infestación del 84%. 2018-06-29 2018-08-16T19:45:54Z 2018-08-16T19:45:54Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/3621 10.18845/tm.v31i2.3621 https://hdl.handle.net/2238/9903 spa https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/3621/pdf Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Tecnología en Marcha application/pdf Editorial Tecnológica de Costa Rica Revista Tecnología en Marcha; Vol. 31, Núm. 2: Abril-Junio 2018; 14-25 2215-3241 0379-3982 |
