Summary
The objective of this PhD was to use new technologies implemented in a multisensory scanner platform (hyperspectral imaging and multi-energy x-ray) to identify organ type and disease status of organs in the abattoir. With the latter we aimed to develop a system for automatic screening of offal for defects using the experience of qualified veterinary pathologists.
Objectives
The objective of this PhD was to use new technologies implemented in a multisensory scanner platform (hyperspectral imaging and multi-energy x-ray) to identify organ type and disease status of organs in the abattoir.
Key findings
Spectroscopic sensors such as near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), Raman spectroscopy, and hyperspectral (HS) imaging were trialled in the present thesis.
Benefits to industry
Spectroscopic sensors such as near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), Raman spectroscopy, and hyperspectral (HS) imaging were trialled in the project.
MLA action
Industry support.
