Computer vision technology ready for payback

摘要

Today's computer vision technology takes advantage of an explosion in processing power and soft-computing tools to run complex imaging software packages in split seconds, not minutes or hours. Perhaps no emerging technology holds more promise for enhancing the efficiency of poultry processing operations than computer vision technology. That is because so many activities on the processing plant floor rely on visual screening to control or indicate if a process is working properly. Yet, despite more than a decade and a half of research to bring computer vision to the processing plant floor, commercial implementation continues to be relatively elusive.
