Popis: According to World Health Organization, Dengue is identified as one of the main pandemic viral disease in tropical and semi-tropical countries in the world. A lot of researches have divulged that the use of ovitraps has itself shown a simple and inexpensive alternative for monitoring and controlling Dengue vector, Aedes Aegypti, but generally the process of counting Dengue mosquito eggs in ovitraps is performed manually. This paper describes a proposal for automatic counting of Aedes Aegypti eggs deposited in ovitraps by Digital Image Processing techniques associated to an Artificial Neural Network.
