Abstract
Techniques for analyzing images of pests using a mobile device application are described. A mobile computing device may receive, via a graphical user interface (GUI), location information input corresponding to a location of a glueboard, an identification input of a pest type caught on the glueboard, and an image of the glueboard. The device may analyze white and dark areas of the image to determine at least one of: 1) total dark surface area of the glueboard and 2) number and size of multiple contiguous dark surface areas of the glueboard. The device may calculate a quantity of pests based on dark surface area and an average size of the pest. The device may output the quantity of pests to the GUI.
