One of the most serious problems confronted by the shrimp farming industry is the disease caused by yellow head virus (YHV). This research promotes an image processing algorithm to detect, identify and eliminate shrimp with yellow head virus from the Litopenaeus vannamei gathering lines. Besides, the study also gives the image processing algorithm that is embedded in Raspberry Pi 3 module with the support of the OpenCV library. First, the shrimp object is identified and separated from the background using the image segmentation technique and the boundary that surrounds the object. Then, identification of the diseased shrimp is analyzed based on a given color threshold. The experimental results show that the system can identify and accurately determine the coordinates of shrimp with the yellow head virus disease and send the information to the shrimp classification system.
