Morphology Method of Moth using Digital Image Processing

Abstract

Conservation of butterflies to stay with nature is necessary to study preliminary information, such as morphology or habitat, which is the basic information for planning in determining measures to guide butterfly preservation. In this paper, we have explored the types of moths in the area of Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya, Trang Campus, in the area of forests, beaches and terrestrial forests. Exploring the type of moth is necessary to touch the moth to collect the morphology, if we touch the moth directly, the chances of moth being injured or having a high chance of death due to the moth's fragility. Therefore, in order to reduce direct moth exposure, the researchers used moth image processing to analyze the size of the wings and size of moth. Including dividing the image proportion to collect the color and pattern of the moth wings. After that, the morphological data of the moth was processed with images obtained from digital image processing and then moth type was identified.
