ZooSCAN浮游动物图像扫描分析▓系统主要用于对液体中的浮游动物样品进行计数、大小测量、种类鉴定以及生物量测定。
ZooSCAN系统是由ZooSCAN、ZooProcess和Plankton Identifer (PkID)等共〓同组成的，ZooSCAN是硬件部分，主要进行浮游动物样品扫描，形成数字图像。ZooProcess和PkID是软件部分，分别以标准化的程序处理原始图像、对不同个体的形态参数进行自动测量和对图像中的浮游动物进行自动分类和计数。其基本工作流程包括：1)扫描空白背景；2)扫描样品，获得原始图片和元数据信息；3) 通过ZooProcess软件，标准化原始图片，提取并测量图片中不同个体的形态参数；4) 通过PkID 软件建立图像培训数据库并进行性能验证；5) 针对已扫描的样品图像，进行浮游动物的自动识别，获得不同类群浮游动物的数量；6) 形态学参数的提取与分析，可进一步获得样品的※粒径组成、生物学体积等信息。
应用领域：生态学⊙调查、渔业、水产养殖、教育。
近年，中国科学院海洋研究所科研人员利用ZooScan图像扫描技术，建立胶州湾浮游动物优势种中华哲水蚤和强壮箭虫体长、面积和体积与干重之间的回归关系。比较了不同季节、不同参数之间的差异。结果表明，不同月▆份的回归关系之间无显著差异，在三个体型参数中，面积拟合生物量的程度ㄨ最好，是利用图像方法估算生物量最佳参数。中华哲水蚤和强壮箭虫体型-生物量转换关系可以分别表示为:lgDW=1.61lgA+1.69,lgDW=1.54lgA+1.32。
厂家对ZooSCAN进行了全面的升级换代，鉴于工作需要，中国科学院海洋研究所再次选购1套ZooSCAN浮游动物图像扫描分析系统，极大地增强了海洋所胶州湾生态环境研究的能力。
