Bragança, Portugalhttp://hdl.handle.net/10198/16729Applying computer vision in meat quality evaluation has been an active area of research in recent years. Accurate segmentation of beef-marbling images plays an important role in making the correct decision on beef-marbling score in an automatic beef quality grading system. The purpose of this study was to develop a new segmentation method to correctly separate the fat flecks from the muscle in the rib-eye region in a beef image. The key idea was to measure the percentage of marbling in the muscle to obtain a beef quality evaluation system.engComputer vision systemBeef qualityBeef-marblingPercentage of marblingconference object
