The study of biological forms increasingly utilizes the geometric morphometrics approach as it allows quantitative evaluation of morphology. Shapes could be digitized as a set of landmarks from specimen images. The annotation of landmarks on insect wings is manually done by domain experts; however, it is time- consuming and error-prone. In this talk, I will present our work on automating this task by using both the traditional image processing method and the deep learning approach. On the one hand, our customized CNN network and some object detected deep learning models can give high accurate landmark recognition. On the other hand, we propose a key- point-matching-based process that is lightweight to run, requires small sample datasets and is realized into an open- source tool. Our hand-crafted feature framework is accurate with reference to human work.
