FAST AND ACCURATE

The Macro Exel Counter is the  biggest fish counter in the Macro Range. It has a 120cm wide counting area and has 25% higher capacity than the standard Macro, wireless Internet, logging system and a faster camera connection. The Macro Exel can be delivered both as single or 4 channel. This range of counters is based on a scanning camera and computer vision. The fish are carried gently in water through the scanning area where the outlines are recorded. Custom software is used to analyse and count each image. Even at maximum capacity the counter is extremely accurate – over 99%.

THE COUNTING PROGRAM

The counter uses VAKI computer vision technology originally developed for counting fry, smolts and juvenile fish. Fish pass over a light source where an imaging line scanning camera is used to grab silhouette image of every single fish. The silhouettes are analyzed and used for counting and size estimation.

RECORDING OF IMAGES

The advanced software is used to count the fish as they pass the counting area. All fish images are stored and can be used for verifying the count. The screenshot to the right shows one second of smolt counting where the capacity is up to 100 fish per second.

Macro App

Among other features the Macro app provides the user the option to run the counter, view the results and email the count report from a smart phone or tablet.

Automatic Report Function

The automatic count report gives valuable and detailed information on the counting. The report can be supplied to the receiver of fish along with the counting file containing the images of all the fish. The throughput chart shows the rate of fish passing thru the counter. With this information the quality of the count can be assessed by checking for any overload.

Size Measurements

An optional feature to the counting program, the size measurement module, presents average weight and the size distribution of the counted fish on a graph along with information on the total biomass of the fish. In one simple operation complete data on number and size of fish is obtained without handling or stress.
