The use of an image analysis microsystem with a specially developed software enabled scale image processing, outline extraction and computation of features which are not available in the conventional approach of scale analysis. Those parameters (shape factors, moment invariants and elliptic Fourier coefficients) were introduced into a discriminant analysis process to test their usefulness in stock identification. The method was applied to European stocks originating from Norway (Etne river) and France (Elorn river). The low misclassification rate obtained indicates that this approach is particularly promising.
Résumé
L'utilisation d'un microsystème d'analyse d'image et d'un logiciel développé pour cette application permet l'acquisition et le traitement d'images d'écailles, l'extraction de leur contour et le calcul d'attributs non accessibles par les méthodes classiques d'analyse scalimétrique. Le pouvoir discriminant de ces attributs (facteurs de forme, moments invariants, coefficients elliptiques de Fourier) est ensuite évalué. La méthode est appliquée à deux stocks originaires de rivières européennes, l'Etne (Norvège) et l'Elorn (France). Le faible taux d'erreur de classification obtenu permet de conclure à l'intérêt de cette approche.
