  • Automated arthropod detection system
    Publication number: 20210312603
    Abstract: The invention is a system and method for searching a subject or substrate for arthropods and communicating information about any arthropods to a user. A preferred embodiment of an automated arthropod detection system includes an imaging subsystem, a processor, and a communication unit. Embodiments of an automated arthropod detection system may implemented in various configurations, which include, but are not limited to: a non-imaging configuration, a handheld configuration, a self-supporting configuration, and a wearable configuration. The method of the invention comprises using an embodiment of an automated arthropod detection system to obtain one or more digital images, process the one or more digital images using an arthropod recognition machine learning algorithm, and communicate the results from the arthropod recognition machine learning algorithm to the user of the system.
