Abstract
Images of an insect larva are subjected to at least a first convolutional neural network to develop feature maps based on anatomical pixels at corresponding image locations in the respective feature maps. The anatomical pixels correspond to a body part of the insect larva. A computer uses a plurality of feature maps form an integrated feature map and bounding boxes on anatomical pixels corresponding to a head, thorax, abdomen, or terminal abdomen area of the insect larva. A classification network identifies the genus, the species, the sex, or the life stage of the insect larva.
