Application of Spatio-Temporal Context and Convolution Neural Network (CNN) in Grooming Behavior of Bactrocera minax...

Statistical analysis and research on insect grooming behavior can find more effective methods for pest control. Traditional manual insect grooming behavior statistical methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and error-prone. Based on computer vision technology, this paper uses spatio-temporal context to extract video features, uses self-built Convolution Neural Network (CNN) to train the detection model, and proposes a simple and effective Bactrocera minax grooming behavior detection method, which automatically detects the grooming behaviors of the flies and analysis results by a computer program. Applying the method training detection model proposed in this paper, the videos of 22 adult flies with a total of 1320 min of grooming behavior were detected and analyzed, and the total detection accuracy was over 95%, the standard error of the accuracy of the behavior detection of each adult flies was less than 3%, and the difference was less than 15% when compared with the results of manual observation. The experimental results show that the method in this paper greatly reduces the time of manual observation and at the same time ensures the accuracy of insect behavior detection and analysis, which proposes a new informatization analysis method for the behavior statistics of Bactrocera minax and also provides a new idea for related insect behavior identification research.
