| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | The analysis of biological function produced by both of individual and assemblage activity of animals is a challenging topic of behavioral ecology. Social insects are possible tool for the analysis because numerous studies have been already done to clarify the behavioral factors of individuals. Especially, honeybee is an ideal animal for the experiments because of the development of breeding techniques, existence of clear caste according to their age, efficient forage behavior adaptive for variable feeding places and high ability of honey storage in their colony. Seeley et al. conducted many behavioral experiments in order to scrutinize honeybee behavior inside and outside of the nests. However, these experiments normally have to put numbers on each body of thousands of honeybees to identify individuals and follow their behavior by hand, which require huge time and labors. In this study, we developed a system to identify honeybee in a nest image and to follow plural honeybees simultaneously. The system is composed by three parts, determination of the region of honeybee body from the other parts with vector quantization, extraction of the region of single honeybee bodies, and reorganization of single honeybees. Our system succeeded to identify nearly 70％ of honeybees in a hive automatically. |
