  • Patent number: 11940435
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of identification on adulterated meat, and in particular, to a method for identifying raw meat and high-quality fake meat based on a gradual linear array change of a component. The present invention spatially characterizes changing rules of featured components in the meat with the utilization of sensitivities of the visible/near-infrared spectral signals to changes of the components in the meat and the advantage that spectral scanning can acquire optical signals of the samples spatially and consecutively, further constructs the identification model according to differences in components and spectra of a region of interest in the hyperspectral image by taking a derivative for characterizing rates of change of the featured components.

  • Patent number: 11878328
    Abstract: A color sorting method for small-grain agricultural products combining an area scanning photoelectric characteristic and a line scanning photoelectric characteristic is provided. The present invention obtains an area scan image of small-grain agricultural product materials on a conveyor belt by using an area scan camera, which can accurately extract area array features of the materials and realize accurate identification of the unqualified materials. At the same time, the present invention can provide key parameters for accurate positioning during free falling of the materials while identifying the unqualified materials by using the area scan image, and can cooperate with the line scan positioning camera and the pneumatic nozzle to achieve high-speed elimination of the unqualified materials.

  • Patent number: 11825871
    Abstract: A method and a device for detecting plastic foreign objects with low chromaticity difference in shredded tobacco through online pulse spectral imaging are provided. The method includes three steps: negative pressure thin-layer loading of shredded tobacco, pulse line-scanning identification of shredded tobacco, and positive pressure online elimination of foreign objects. Loose shredded tobacco is formed into a fixed and continuous thin layer on a surface of a conveying cylinder under the effect of a negative pressure adsorption force. The surface of the conveying cylinder is coded by areas. An LED linear array light source containing characteristic wavelengths of plastics with low chromaticity difference emits optical pulses, and a line-scanning camera is used to obtain characteristic signals of the plastic foreign objects with low chromaticity difference efficiently in real time.

  • Publication number: 20230187030
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of food processing, and in particular relates to a rapid and non-destructive quantitative evaluation method for taste characteristics of fried rice. The method includes three steps: constructing a quantitative model of seasoning for the fried rice, constructing a model for identifying types of materials of the fried rice, and performing quantitative characterization of the taste characteristics of the fried rice. The quantitative model of the seasoning is established based on sensitivity of a spectral signal to changes of the content of seasoning liquid. An analytic equation of key parameters of the quantitative model of the seasoning is established according to characteristics that the total amount of the seasoning in finished fried rice is equal to the total amount of the seasoning added during frying of the fried rice. The quantitative model of the seasoning is rapidly constructed by solving the equations.
