  • The system integrated YOLO-V3 for segmentation and Inception-V4 for classification of species and gender.

    • Main Results:

    • High accuracy rates were achieved for species identification (up to 0.9899) and gender identification (up to 0.9241).
    • Performance varied slightly based on background color, with sticky paper backgrounds yielding superior results.
    • The AI system demonstrated robust performance across different imaging conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed AI system provides a highly accurate method for identifying mosquito species and gender.
    • This technology can significantly aid in public health efforts for vector control and disease prevention.
    • Automated mosquito identification systems offer a scalable solution for epidemiological surveillance.
