Abstract

For the purpose of quality control or sorting of pieces of meat, use is made of an installation which determines on-line the quality characteristics of pieces of meat. The installation comprises a conveyor with a belt 12, 13, 14 for advancing the pieces of meat 2, an illuminating arrangement 20, 21 arranged above the belt for illuminating the pieces of meat, a colour camera 22 arranged in association with the arrangement for taking three part pictures of the pieces of meat in the red, green and blue spectral range, and computer equipment 51, 52, 53 for storing the part pictures in the form of RGB light values, analysis of the stored part pictures and determination of the quality characteristics of the pieces of meat on the basis of the analysis. The installation comprises a three-chip CCD colour camera which takes a part picture in the red, green and blue range on respective chips, and the installation is adapted so as to record and store associated RGB light values originating from the same physical (actual) surface part of the meat product. By means of the installation, both inadequate fat trimming as well as extensive areas of PSE and bleeding can be detected on pieces of meat which are to be used for production of cooked hams or other products. The installation can be adapted so that it has a detection rate which is acceptable for practical production conditions, for example one piece of meat per second. <IMAGE>
