The flavivirus epidemiology has reached an alarming rate which haunts the world population including Malaysia. World Health Organization has proposed and practised various methods of vector control through environmental management, chemical and biological orientations. However, from the listed control vectors, the most crucial part to be heeded are non-accessible places like water storage and artificial container. The objective of the study was to acquire and compare various accuracies and crossentropy errors of the training sets within different learning rates in water storage tank environment which was essential for detection. This experiment performed transfer learning where Inception-V3 was implemented. About 534 images were trained to classify between Aedes Aegypti larvae and float valve within 3 different learning rates. For training accuracy and validation accuracy, learning rates were 0.1; 99.98%, 99.90% and 0.01; 99.91%, 99.77% and 0.001; 99.10%, 99.93%. Cross-entropy errors for training and validation for 0.1 were 0.0021, 0.0184 whereas for 0.01 were 0.0091, 0.0121 and 0.001; 0.0513, 0.0330. Various accuracies and cross-entropy errors of the training sets within the different learning rates were successfully acquired and compared.
The flavivirus epidemiology has reached an alarming rate which haunts the world population including Malaysia. In fact, World Health Organization has proposed and practised many methods of vector control through environmental management, chemical and biological orientations but still cannot fully overcome the problem. This paper proposed a detection of Aedes Aegypti larvae in water storage tank using Single Shot Multibox Detector with transfer learning. The objective of the study was to acquire the training and the performance metrics of the detection. The detection was done using SSD with Inception_V2 through transfer learning. The experimental results revealed that the probability detection scored more than 80% accuracies and there was no false alarm. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the model approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
