• abstract = "Aquaculture is an important industry in New Zealand (NZ). Mussel farmers often manually check the state of the buoys that are required to support the crop, which is labour-intensive. Artificial intelligence (AI) can provide automatic and intelligent solutions to many problems but has seldom been applied to mussel farming. In this paper, a new AI-based approach is developed to automatically detect buoys from mussel farm images taken from a farm in the South Island of NZ. The overall approach consists of four steps, i.e. data collection and preprocessing, image segmentation, keypoint detection and feature extraction, and classification. A convolutional neural network (CNN) method is applied to perform image segmentation. A new genetic programming (GP) method with a new representation, a new function set and a new terminal set is developed to automatically evolve descriptors for extracting features from key points. The new approach is applied to seven subsets and one full dataset containing images of buoys over different backgrounds and compared to three baseline methods. The new approach achieves better performance than the compared methods. Further analysis of the parameters and the evolved solutions provides more insights into the performance of the new approach to buoy detection.",
