台灣地區天蠶蛾（鱗翅目：天蠶蛾科）網路影像辨識系統

The beautiful giant silkworm moth with large size is one of the most interested insects in Taiwan. Till now, the website-providing automatically retrieval system based on the uploaded wing images of giant silkworm moths or other insects doesn't been created. In this study, we develop a web-based image recognition system for giant silkworm moths. As the user uploads the wing image of moth, the system will extract wing image from background, normalize the image, and compute the contour and color characteristics of the wing pattern. In the recognition processes, the wing images will be classified into anterior or posterior wing automatically. Currently, 10 out of 16 species of giant silkworm moths in Taiwan are contained. Results show the accuracy will be more than 97% as both anterior and posterior wings images are provided. The recognition possibility would be enhanced when the data base of individuals, species, or ecological information are increasing.
