Application of Machine Vision System in Food Detection.

Abstract

Food processing technology is an important part of modern life globally and will undoubtedly play an increasingly significant role in future development of industry. Food quality and safety are societal concerns, and food health is one of the most important aspects of food processing. However, ensuring food quality and safety is a complex process that necessitates huge investments in labor. Currently, machine vision system based image analysis is widely used in the food industry to monitor food quality, greatly assisting researchers and industry in improving food inspection efficiency. Meanwhile, the use of deep learning in machine vision has significantly improved food identification intelligence. This paper reviews the application of machine vision in food detection from the hardware and software of machine vision systems, introduces the current state of research on various forms of machine vision, and provides an outlook on the challenges that machine vision system faces.
