Definitions
- This invention relates to image data analysis for objects such as meat carcases and meat cuts although the invention may also be applicable to other agricultural, mineral or
- colour data captured by a colour video camera has been utilised in the form of R, G, and B values (red, green and blue values) in yield equations derived from multiple field runs as described above. Particular care ought to be taken to ensure as far as
- a method of analysing colour image data relating to a target object to derive or predict a property of the object of which colour is an indicator including the step of processing the colour data to derive ight intensity independent measures of colour values, followed by the step of calculating the property of the object utilising the light intensity independent colour measures in a predictive
- the light intensity independent colour measures are variables and the property of the object is calculated from solving the predictive equation.
- the light intensity independent measures of colour values are used in equations developed to predict a quantitative meat or carcase quality measure, e.g. "yield” in Australia, "conformation” or “fat score” in the
- the method includes the step of processing the colour data for a carcase to derive light intensity independent measures of colour values for the carcase, followed by the step of calculating the meat yield of the carcase utilising the light intensity independent colour measures in a yield predictive equation.
- the intensity normalised class CRiGil has been adapted from the prior CRGB class consisting of Red, Green and Blue values.
- the class consists of the member variables Ri; Gi;
- a digitiser offset is preferably subtracted (since the offset associated with a digitiser for digitising measured RGB values in a colour data capture system is obviously not affected by light
- R, R + G + B - 3k
- yield equations relating measured or calculated parameters of the carcases could be derived 5 by multiple regression analysis (or other statistical analysis techniques) to best fit the data and optimise the fitting or prediction of the actual saleable meat yield.
- R ! is the intensity based red value for the same "area 1 "
- G is the intensity based green value for the same "area 1 "
- d is the distance from the tail to the hind leg bottom, when projected onto a
- d 2 is the distance from the brisket to the tail.
- f is the ratio w/L, where w is the distance from the point where the hook suspending
- the beef carcass passes through the hind leg to the point at the end of the profile of the butt, when projected onto the longitudinal line, and
- L is the length of the carcass
- f is the ratio x/L, where x is the distance from the hook to the point of the armpit, when projected onto the longitudinal line, and L is the length of the carcass,
- S ! is a measure of the degree of "plumpness" of the shape of the butt, e.g. derived by obtaining a measure of the extent of departure of the butt profile from the line from the point of the tail to the bottom of the hind leg,
- G ⁇ is the intensity normalised green value for a predetermined "area 2" of the carcass
- R l3 is the intensity normalised red value for a different "area 3" of the carcass
- R l4 is the intensity normalised red value for a different "area 4" of the carcass
- B 3 is the intensity based red value for "area 3".
- the derived equations will be different depending on the use of selected ones of the numerous variables including dimensional variables, ratios of dimensions, other measures such as the measure of the shape of the butt.
- the sizes and locations of the predetermined areas of the carcase where colour measurements are taken and used in the predictive equations will very substantially affect the final derived constants in the equations.
- tissue colours of a real beef carcase was measured multiple times on a number of days during the period of the yield trials. Over a trial when the fake carcase was presented 37 times over a number of days, yield equations (1) and (3) exhibited only very small changes in the predicted yield - minimum -0.062% and maximum +0.102% deviation from a median predicted yield. On the other hand, yield equations (2) and (4) displayed a drift of minimum -0.39% and maximum +0.16% from the median.
- intensity normalised yield equations (1) and (3) showed only very small change in predicted yield and small change in the RMS of the changes for this trial with the failed light bulb, whereas the intensity dependent yield predictive equations (2) and (4) showed very large changes in predicted yield and RMS value for this trial with the failed light bulb. By chance, this demonstrated that the use of intensity normalised equations are robust to such changes in illumination conditions.
- each carcase was categorised into one of the six predetermined categories and the data
- the BCS produces not only its prediction of saleable meat yield, but also a yield that
- This component yield (CompWy) was added to a weighted CAS predicted yield representing the currently selected carcase type.
- CAS refers to a "Chiller Assessment System” (available from Viascan Quality Assessment, of Beenleigh, Queensland, Australia) which provides measures relating to meat yield after further analyses later in the processing operation in a chiller. This weighted addition must be applied off-line at the end of the processing operations in the abattoir.
- the formula that is implemented was
- k' is defined according to which carcase type has been selected. The appropriate values are shown below in the table. Note that the CAS yield equations exist for only three carcase categories. These are: bull, cow, and table beef (where the "table beef category includes all beef from the four subcategories of the BCS).
- yield is the primary measure used for carcase grading in Australia where the invention has been developed. However, in other countries or regions, there can be different parameters used to grade meat such as meat carcases.
- EUROP scoring or grading system
- the present invention is equally applicable to the process of calculating the conformation and fat scores in the EUROP system for a meat portion or carcase using light intensity independent colour measures in appropriate predictive equations. It will be appreciated that the capture of colour data for a carcase (together with other data such as dimensional data), can be used in an
