Description
Summary:© 2016 Elsevier B.V. In this paper, we develop a color-based automatic control system for roasting chicken industry by using the modern Combi Oven and new image processing techniques. Firstly, we embedded a video camera into the Combi Oven and design a color monitoring system. Secondly, a new segmentation technique based on level set approach is developed. Thirdly, a new color indicator is defined for color quality control. Finally, extensive experiments have been conducted to validate the proposed segmentation approach and the effectiveness of the developed system.
