Animal recognition application using Kohonen Feature Map / Muhamad Syafiq Nordin
Underwater world had always been full of mystery in view of the fact that it was filled with unaccountably many species. Among the living organisms, fish are the most familiar to humans in environment, commercial and even recreational. From this perspective, fish recognition arouses interest of not...

Underwater world had always been full of mystery in view of the fact that it was filled with unaccountably many species. Among the living organisms, fish are the most familiar to humans in environment, commercial and even recreational. From this perspective, fish recognition arouses interest of not only dedicated underwater scientists but also of ordinary people who may be interested in this matter. Roughly 1.4 million species are known to science. Beyond this estimation, most unrecognized species are in poorly studied groups where it habitats were seldom explored. The job of discovering new species falls on the area of biology called taxonomy. The World-Wide Web is being used to collect data used by taxonomists’ for instance taxonomic literature and specimen databases in different parts of the globe, archived as digital images.
