  • Automated identification of fish filets
    Patent number: 12700232
    Abstract: One disclosed method involves encoding an acquired image of a fish filet into a first feature vector consumable by at least one predictive model, processing, with the at least one predictive model, the first feature vector to identify a type of fish from which the fish filet was cut, and causing at least one device to output an indication of the type of fish identified by the at least one predictive model. Another disclosed method involves associating first images of fish filets with metadata indicative of one or more types of fish from which the fish filets were cut, using the first images and the metadata to train at least one predictive model to categorize second images of fish filets into the one or more types of fish, and providing the at least one predictive model to at least one device so as to enable the at least one device to output an indication of the one or more types of fish based acquired images of fish filets.
