  • Industrial food processing using computer vision
    Patent number: 12705785
    Abstract: Computer vision is applied to images of food objects, allowing tracking of sub-objects separated there-from during processing and relating back outcomes observed to original locations within the food object. A method includes: obtaining an image of an object having a pattern; thereafter identifying sub-objects; determining an object location of respective sub-objects relative to the object based on the pattern; and providing an indicator, for the respective sub-objects, associated with the food processing and based on the object location of the respective sub-objects. The indicator may be a highlighted location of the sub-object within a three-dimensional (3D) model, a tracked or predicted outcome or classification, or an adjustment to a food processing step or equipment configuration.
