Research Project:
DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY FOR AUTOMATED ON-LINE INSPECTION OF ANIMAL CARCASSES AND PLANT PRODUCE
Location:
Instrumentation and Sensing Laboratory
Project Number: 1265-42000-008-00
Project Type:
Appropriated
Start Date: Jan 23, 2001
End Date: Jan 22, 2006
Objective:
(1) To develop automated industrial prototype systems for poultry carcass inspection and implement them online at slaughter plants, (2) conduct basic research and develop algorithms to detect and identify individual diseases/lesions and defects of poultry carcasses and viscera, and (3) develop a real-time vision system that can be incorporated into HACCP plan for detection of external/internal damage and fecal and soil contamination on fresh fruits and vegetables (with primary emphasis on apples).
Approach:
(1) Upgrade the pilot-scale poultry inspection system and conduct trials of the inspection system at a commercial poultry processing plant. (2) Create CRADA with a commercial equipment company to build a commercial inspection system. (3) Test the commercial poultry inspection system for a prolonged period of time at a commercial poultry processing plant. (4) Develop spectral and image databases and detection algorithms for individual chicken diseases and defects and for contaminated and damaged and soiled apples. (5) Apply hyperspectral-imaging technology to determine optimal wavelengths for detection of diseases, defects, and contamination on apples and poultry carcasses. (6) Design and assemble in-house multispectral and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) imaging systems for real-time detection of diseases, defects, and contamination on apples and poultry carcasses. (7) Install pilot-scale-line for apple sorting and test the systems developed by ISL for real-time detection of damage, fecal and soil contamination.
