Abstract To improve the accuracy of fish disease expert
system diagnosis, this paper develops a fish disease model which
combines case-based reasoning and content retrieval from images of sick
fish. In the visual inspection phase and microscope inspection phase of
fish disease diagnosis the system extracts the visual features of a
fish disease image which is uploaded by the user. It then uses
content-based image retrieval technology to find similar images in the
fish disease image database. This can be returned to the user as a
diagnosis reference and, at the same time it can be used as an index
for case retrieval. During case retrieval, depending on the similar
image’s semantic annotation index case database, the searching scope
can be reduced to improve the efficiency of case retrieval and the
accuracy of reasoning.
