Abstract

DC60(11/02/57) Methods and systems that use a viewing system with shrimp through a process (processshrimp). Looking at the image of the shrimp sample, the processor produces a digital image of the shrimp in the shrimp sample that leaves the A peeler was visualized to measure the number of tail segments in each shrimp. The shrimp were grouped by The number of complete segments and their quality, yield and throughput were calculated from the segmentation results. The processor can control the peel machine's operation settings on the segmentation results. In larger systems that include shrimp processing equipment other than spot peelers. Others along the process path can be visualized by the camera or detected by other sensors. To measure process quality and to create automatic adjustments to equipment
