DUAL-ENERGY MICROFOCUS RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POULTRY AND MEAT INSPECTION

摘要

A system and method for foreign object detection in meat processing is provided. The system and method combine microfocus X-ray tubes with dual energy X-rays to detect foreign objects in meat products. A dual energy image processing algorithm analyzes the dual energy X-rays passed through the meat product to identify the foreign object present therein. An alarm or other notification is then generated in response to the detection of a foreign object.
