| description | Aquaculture plays an important role in the global economy. However, unscientific feeding methods often lead to problems such as feed waste and water pollution. This study aims to address this issue by accurately recognizing fish feeding behaviors to provide automatic bait casting machines with scientific feeding strategies, thereby reducing farming costs. We propose a fish feeding behavior recognition method based on semantic segmentation, which overcomes the limitations of existing methods in dealing with complex backgrounds, water splash interference, fish target overlapping, and real-time performance. In this method, we first accurately segment fish targets in the images using a semantic segmentation model. Then, these segmented images are input into our proposed fish feeding behavior recognition model. By analyzing the aggregation characteristics during the feeding process, we can identify fish feeding behaviors. Experiments show that the proposed method has excellent robustness and real-time performance, and it performs well in the case of complex water background and occlusion of fish targets. We provide the aquaculture industry with an efficient and reliable method for recognizing fish feeding behavior, offering new scientific support for intelligent aquaculture and delivering powerful solutions to improve aquaculture management and production efficiency. Although the algorithm proposed in this study has shown good performance in fish feeding behavior recognition, it requires certain lighting conditions and fish density, which may affect its adaptability in different environments. Future research could explore integrating multimodal data, such as sound information, to assist in judgment, thereby enhancing the robustness of the model and promoting the development of intelligent aquaculture. |
