Description
Summary:In this presentation, machine vision-guided systems for food processing automations will be presented. The goals of these equipment designs were to improve the process efficiency and minimize labour intensities. A showcase of an automated vision-guided intelligent strawberry de-calyxing machine and an automated 3-D imaging system for seafood sorting lines are introduced and discussed in this paper. These automated system technologies have the capabilities of huge labour savings from 10 to 120 folds.
