Marbling Classification of Lamb Carcasses with the Artificial Neural Image Analysis

摘要

This paper describes a part of research, whose goal was to develop an effective method to determine marbling classes of lamb carcasses, with the neural image analysis techniques. Current methods for identifying the degree of intramuscular fat level content are time consuming, require specialized expertise and often rely on subjective assessment based on predefined patterns. In this paper, authors proposes the use of neural model developed as a tool to assist evaluation of marbling.
