Abstract :In this study, a system that can be used in unmanned aerial vehicles is proposed in order to be informed early about the jellyfish infestation in coastal areas due to global warming and to take necessary precautions. The main thing in this research is that the dexterity of unmanned systems in the field of monitoring and information gathering was used to detect jellyfish infestations. The proposed method for this is nothing but the watershed algorithm, which can successfully create objects that are overlapped, partially hidden or not all details are clearly visible in image processing. Researches, tests and applications in the field reveal that two important conditions must occur for this. The first of these is to obtain the density of jellyfish correctly, and the other is to perform the process in real time in the UAV system. For this purpose, the proposed system was first tested and verified on a CPU-based computer, and then the process of moving the same code to a GPU-based embedded system was analyzed. When the data obtained with the CPU and GPU are compared at the last stage, it is obvious that the proposed method will be used easily in a UAV system and will yield successful results in monitoring the marine ecosystem caused by climate change.Keywords : Havza algoritması, Deniz anası tespiti, bilgisayarlı görme, gömülü sistemler, uçta hesaplama
