Abstract
Insects for food and feed is gaining traction because of high nutritional content. However, in
large scale rearing, harvesting and processing insects for food and feed is still a challenge
largely due to manual monitoring. Through the advances in technology, computing power
and communications, it is now possible to generate and analyze massive data in real time.
This lends itself to automation, remote sensing and relaying of massive data using Internet of
Things (IoT). Counting, measurements of insects and their traits, modelling which may result
into prediction can be successfully done using Machine Learning (ML). Image acquisition and
signal processing is made possible through the use of Computer Vision (CV) while the insect
content analysis is achieved through the use spectroscopy.
