In this paper, we propose an instrumentation andcomputer vision pipeline that allows automatic object detectionon images taken from multiple experimental set ups. We demon-strate the approach by autonomously counting intoxicated fliesin the FLORIDA assay. The assay measures the effect of ethanolexposure onto the ability of a vinegar fly Drosophila melanogasterto right itself. The analysis consists of a three-step approach.First, obtaining an image of a large set of individual experiments,second, identify areas containing a single experiment, and third,discover the searched objects within the experiment. For theanalysis we facilitate well-known computer vision and machinelearning algorithms—namely color segmentation, threshold imag-ing and DBSCAN. The automation of the experiment enables anunprecedented reproducibility and consistency, while significantlydecreasing the manual labor. |
