Machine vision technologies can be used to make automatic chicken filleting more sustainable. To reduce food waste, it is important not to throw away too much meat during industrial filleting. The identification and classification of different chicken products such as carcass, fat, cartilage or meat has been investigated with hyperspectral and multispectral imaging in the SWIR spectral regiond.
Myrthe van Moorst led this research and successfully completed her studies at the Mechatronica course from AVANS Breda. Myrthe conducted her graduation with the Specim FX17 camera and the application developed with MVTEC Halcon machine vision software.
Food Technology and a sustainable food chain
For a multi-spectral imaging system, it is important to investigate at what frequency intervals the residuals are best visible. Category intervals fall within Short Wave Infrared (SWIR). To determine the category intervals, several multi-spectral imaging systems have been investigated.
