  • SYSTEM, METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MEAT MARBLING ASSESSMENT
    Publication number: 20230316481
    Abstract: A system and method for assessing a marbling of a meat sample are provided. The system comprises at least one processor and a memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to perform the method. The method comprises obtaining an image of a meat sample, identifying a muscle of interest (MOI) of the meat sample, segmenting an area of interest (AOI) in the MOI where the AOI in the MOI comprises a region of interest (ROI) of the image, detecting a number of marbling pixels in the ROI of the image, and determining a marbling score comprising a ratio of the number of marbling pixels and the total number of pixels in the ROI of the image. The meat sample is one of a chop, a slice, a steak, or a whole loin.
