Black Soldier Fly

Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae are gaining attention for their ability to efficiently convert organic waste into valuable biomass, prompting research into optimizing their mass rearing. Current research focuses on automating BSF farming through smart bin technology incorporating sensors and computer vision, using algorithms like YOLO and transformers to monitor larval growth and automate tasks such as aeration. These advancements leverage deep learning models to improve the accuracy and efficiency of larval counting and classification, addressing challenges in both research and industrial applications of BSF farming. The overall goal is to enhance the economic viability and scalability of BSF-based waste management and biomass production.
