On computer vision algorithms for searching breaks in meshed fencing constructions

Purpose. The paper addresses image processing algorithms for the computer vision system of an autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicle, which automatically monitors the state of the mesh fence and thereby exclude the presence of a person in an aggressive underwater environment.

Methodology. The MultiScale Retinex with Color Restoration algorithm and the Otsu method were implemented using the Python programming language to pre-process and filter the image. Methods from OpenCV computer vision library were used to detect damage to the mesh fence.

Results. An algorithm is proposed for highlighting the impulses of mesh fencing in underwater conditions using computer vision methods implemented by the Python software. The software implementation results are provided. It is shown that computer vision methods effectively cope with determining the integrity of network cells in weakly and medium-noisy images. To work in more complex optical conditions, it is proposed to include a neural network module in the software package.

Findings. The analysis of the results of the software package showed that it successfully copes with the classification of network cells in clean images. However, the transformations carried out at the pre-processing stage are not enough to complete noise elimination. In this regard, this study will continue to improve and expand the functionality of the software package. The result of the study will be a software package with a neural network module for full filtering of the external background and efficient detection of the mesh fence problem areas.
