This shows that the detection of bone in meat products is possible without the need for expensive X-Ray detection systems, simply by using a hyperspectral camera and the chemical colour imaging technics and software provided by Perception Park.
The detection of bone fragments in meat products is important to consumers and producers alike as they can cause injuries and possibly also damage machinery.
But the highly variable shape, thickness, and colour pose big challenges for inspection systems.
Using the hyperspectral chemical colour imaging technics provided by Perception Park enables a clear colour coding of the meat (red), fat (blue), and bone fragments (green) in this porkchop. The greenish hue in some areas even shows bone under a layer of meat.
