Mantispids are small brown bugs about 1.5 cm in length. Mantispid eggs are produced in large quantities, with about 1000 eggs per spawning, and are tiny and densely packed. Traditionally, mantispid eggs are counted manually. However, counting such a large quantity of eggs is difficult. To provide accurate data for researchers, we detail methods to accurately detect and count the number of mantispid eggs using image processing. The following methods were used to count the mantispid eggs: background estimation, morphological image processing, background subtraction, stretching, image thresholding, gray-level transformation, labeling and counting. The results of automated counting were compared with the results of manual counting. The segmentation results were verified, and the accuracy of the mantispid egg counts was determined to be 100%. This provides a useful resource for mantispid egg counting. The automatic counting system cannot only count mantispid eggs, it can also be used to count other similar insect eggs.

利用图像性质自动检测和计数螳螂卵

螳螂是长约 1.5 厘米的棕色小虫子。螳螂卵产量大，每次产卵约1000个，体积小且密集。传统上，螳螂卵是手动计数的。然而，计算如此大量的鸡蛋是很困难的。为了为研究人员提供准确的数据，我们详细介绍了使用图像处理准确检测和计算螳螂卵数量的方法。螳螂卵计数方法包括：背景估计、形态图像处理、背景减法、拉伸、图像阈值化、灰度变换、标记和计数。将自动计数的结果与手动计数的结果进行比较。对分割结果进行验证，确定螳螂卵计数准确率为100%。这为螳螂卵计数提供了有用的资源。自动计数系统不仅可以计数螳螂卵，还可以用来计数其他类似昆虫的卵。
