Un sistema de detección de peces para escala de hendidura vertical utilizando tecnología láser y técnicas de visión artificial A fish detection system in vertical slot fishways using laser technology and computer vision techniques

Vertical slot fishway are hydraulic structures which are widely used to allow the upstream migration of fish through obstructions in rivers. Learning about the frequency of fish’s movement through these systems can help determine the efficiency of a vertical slot fishway, as well as migratory patterns of species, determine if waterways are healthy or whether we can continue to fish with guaranteed conservation and improve wildlife. This paper presents a noninvasive method for fish detection. A laser sensor is used to detect fish and data collected by the sensor is analyzed automatically , using computer vision techniques.
