Aedes larvae surveillance system on smartphones and algorithms

Purpose: The dangerous diseases: dengue fever, yellow fever, Zika virus and Chikungunya, which affect hundreds of millions of people each year, are transmitted by female Aedes mosquitoes. To prevent the spreading of the Aedes mosquitoes, the Aedes larvae should be under close surveillance, so that the responsible agencies can make a warning or prepare for the epidemic. In order for anyone without the expert knowledge to detect and report the existence of the Aedes larvae, which are very responsive to the change of light intensity and move abruptly, we propose the Aedes Larvae Surveillance System using Smartphones.
