Zebrafish Counting Using Event Stream Data
Zebrafish share a high degree of homology with human genes and are commonly used as model organism in biomedical research. For medical laboratories, counting zebrafish is a daily task. Due to the tiny size of zebrafish, manual visual counting is challenging. Existing counting methods are either not applicable to small fishes or have too many limitations. The paper proposed a zebrafish counting algorithm based on the event stream data. Firstly, an event camera is applied for data acquisition. Secondly, camera calibration and image fusion were preformed successively. Then, the trajectory information was used to improve the counting accuracy. Finally, the counting results were averaged over an empirical of period and rounded up to get the final results. To evaluate the accuracy of the algorithm, 20 zebrafish were put in a four-liter breeding tank. Among 100 counting trials, the average accuracy reached 97.95%. As compared with traditional algorithms, the proposed one offers a simpler implementation and achieves higher accuracy.

An adaptively optimized algorithm for counting nuclei in X-ray micro-CT scans of whole organisms
Living organisms are primarily made of cells. Identifying them and characterizing their geometry and spatial distribution is a first step towards building multi-scale models of these biomaterials. We propose a method to …
SVCBench: A Streaming Video Counting Benchmark for Spatial-Temporal State Maintenance
Video understanding requires models to continuously track and update world state during playback. Although existing benchmarks have advanced video understanding evaluation across multiple dimensions, they provide limited…
Object CountingInformation of Epileptic Mechanism and its Systemic Change-points in a Zebrafish's Brain-wide Calcium Imaging Video Data
The epileptic mechanism is postulated as that an animal's neurons gradually diminish their inhibition function coupled with enhanced excitation when an epileptic event is approaching. Calcium imaging technique is designe…
Strains differences in the collective behaviour of zebrafish (Danio rerio) in heterogeneous environment
Recent studies show differences in individual motion and shoaling tendency between strains of the same species. Here, we analyse the collective motion and the response to visual stimuli in two morphologically different s…
Measure Country-Level Socio-Economic Indicators with Streaming News: An Empirical Study
Socio-economic conditions are difficult to measure. For example, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics needs to conduct large-scale household surveys regularly to track the unemployment rate, an indicator widely used by ec…
