Determination of Meat Quality Using Texture Features

概要

In this paper, we describe a method of determining meat quality using the concepts of "marbling score" and texture analysis. The marbling score is a measure of the density distribution of fat in the rib-eye region. Based on the results of an investigation carried out by handing out questionnaires to graders, we consider the marbling of meat to be a texture pattern and propose a method for the implementation of a grading system using a texture feature. In this system, we use a gray level co-occurrence matrix as the texture feature, which is a typical second-order statistic of gray levels of a texture image, and determine standard texture-feature vectors for each grade based on it. The grade of an unevaluated image is determined by comparing the texture-feature vector of this unevaluated image with the standard texture-feature vectors. Experimental results show the proposed method to be effective.
