Abstract:

     The paper studies the effectiveness of applying statistical approach to solving the problem of images clustering of aquatic organisms. A logistic regression model is used for a small number of classes. The process of constructing a statistical model is demonstrated using real images of plankton as an example. The transformation of individual organisms images into sets of factor space signs and the construction of separating hyperplanes in it are carried out. An estimate of occurrence probability of the first and second kind of errors in the implementation of binary image clustering using a separating hyperplane is obtained.

     The task of automatic clustering and identification of the video stream of hydrobiont images in real time is not exhaustively and fully resolved. The search for a solution to the problem is complicated due to the characteristics of the subject area: a wide variety of species and morphological features of plankton, large intraclass diversity and relative interclass similarity. In the case when recognition occurs manually, the influence of the human factor affects large volumes of monotonous work. The search for a suitable mathematical model of the classifier will greatly simplify the implementation of a numerical assessment of aquatic ecosystems productivity and the amount of incoming energy. The article deals with a special case of the image clustering problem with a small number of clusters and statistically distinguishable sets of hydrobionts features. This assumption is valid for ecosystems with limited species diversity, for example, the Black and Azov Seas. The proposed model is the basis of intellectualization when deciding on the appropriateness of using statistical clustering methods for the specific problem under consideration.

Keywords: statistical clustering, EM algorithm, data mining, machine learning, hydrobionts, anomaly detection, logistic regression.
