An Image Processing based Identification of Fish Exposed to Polluted Water

Water bodies are getting polluted day by day due to discharge of industrial waste, agricultural waste, waste water and other effluents which in turn causing harm to health status to living organism including fish. The proposed work used an image processing based framework to identify the fish exposed to polluted water. The proposed work segments fish gills and contributes in identification of texture features that can be used to distinguish normal fish from fish exposed to pollution. It was evident from the statistical analysis of these features that there occured changes in the texture properties of fish gill which were exposed to such pollutants.
