Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for measuring a slaughter animal body object, the device comprising an image camera having an image-camera recording region, a depth camera having a depth-camera recording region, and an evaluation unit. The cameras are positioned in relation to one another by means of a positioning device in such a manner that the camera recording regions of the image camera and of the depth camera overlap in a common camera recording region at least in certain sections. The evaluation unit is capable of identifying measurement points in the common camera recording region and determining the distances thereof from one another.
Abstract:
A calibration standard for an image processing system as an optical measuring device is described, which ensures high accuracy and the correct determination of brightness and/or tristimulus values for two-dimensional measurements. According to the invention, the calibration standard comprises at least four dimensional circles (4.1; 4.2; 4.3; 4.4) on a dimensionally stable planar surface (1).
Abstract:
Es wird ein computergestütztes Verfahren zur manuellen und/oder automatisierten Zerlegung von Schlachttierkörpern beschrieben, das die günstigsten Schnittführungen zur Zerlegung in Form von visuellen Anweisungen ausgibt und/oder zur Steuerung von Schnittwerkzeugen von Zerlegeautomaten dient, wobei die Zerlegung bei definierter Vorgabe von Mengen unterschiedlicher Zerlegeartikel als Endprodukte aus einer minimale Menge von Ausgangsartikeln bei Anfall geringer Mengen von übrigen Artikeln mittels einer optimalen Zerlegevorschrift mit Schnittlisten und Schnittführungen auf Basis von in einer Datenbank abgelegter Schnittlisten sowie Daten von Ausbeuten von Schlachttierkörpern, erfolgen soll. Erfindungsgemäß werden in mehreren Schritten zur Bestimmung der optimalen Schnittführungen, ausgehend von definiert vorgegebenen Mengen unterschiedlicher Artikel, alle unbekannten Parameter von im Verlauf der Zerlegung entstehender Mengen an unterschiedlichen Artikeln anderer Endprodukte, Zukaufs- und Einlagerungsmengen variiert, wobei jeder zu variierende Parameter drei Werte, als Zahlentripel zur Berechnung einer Anzahl von Variationen durchläuft, auf jede der Variationen ein Optimierungskriterium angewandt und die nach diesem Kriterium vorläufig beste Variation bestimmt wird, ausgehend von den ersten Zahlentripel werden neue Werte für jeden Parameter festgelegt, deren Abstände geringer sind, mit stets kleiner werdendem Abstand der Werte der Zahlentripel wird die Berechnung so oft wiederholt, bis die Werte der Parameter innerhalb eines vorgegebenem Toleranzbereichs liegen und die der optimalen Zerlegevorschrift in der Datenbank zugeordneten Schnittlisten werden visuell lesbar oder als Steuerdatei ausgegeben.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electronic data processing system for operations management. The aim of the invention is to develop an electronic data processing system for operations management which depicts, in a redundancy-free manner, the economic facts, findings and progressions in the individual businesses, and secures and controls the electronic data processing technical linking of all aggregates used for producing goods while integrating communications technology. The electronic data processing system is comprised of a computer system (24), of an intelligent control system (25), of a goods preparation process/goods management process (16) and of a base integration system (22), which is assigned to said computer system (24) and is connected to the intelligent control system (25) via a connection (a) and is connected to the goods preparation process/goods management process (16) via a special interface (21).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for controlling the anesthetization of an animal to be slaughtered (1) comprising a stimulation unit (2) via which a stimulation stimulus (3) can be given to an animal to be slaughtered (1), and an image capturing unit (4) comprising an image capturing range (5). Said image capturing unit (4) is designed as a 3D-camera and one part of a surface of the animal to be slaughtered (1) can be optically detected in the image capturing range, in which pixels can be collected in the area of surface and can be provided and transmitted as pixel data, and comprising an evaluation unit (6) which is connected to the image capturing unit (5) and which collects the pixel data provided by the image capturing unit (5) and said evaluation unit can determine an active movement of the animal to be slaughtered (1) from the detected pixel data and provides and transmits the control result in the event of a determined movement of the animal to be slaughtered (1).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for volumetrically measuring an object in the body of an animal for slaughter, having a first depth camera with a first depth camera recording area and having a second depth camera with a second depth camera recording area and having a positioning apparatus for positioning the depth cameras relative to one another and having an evaluation unit, wherein the evaluation unit is connected to the depth cameras, and wherein the evaluation unit acquires the spatial coordinate data provided by the depth cameras, and wherein the spatial coordinate data from the depth cameras can be combined as combined spatial coordinate data in a common spatial coordinate system, and wherein a surface model of the object in the body of an animal for slaughter can be provided from the combined spatial coordinate data, and wherein a volume of the object in the body of an animal for slaughter can be calculated from the surface model.
Abstract:
A non-invasive process is described for recognising contours having complex structures with an error recognition rate tending to zero, the process being used to differentiate and identify characteristics of a slaughtered animal body on the basis of a characteristic slice by means of image processing, in particular to determine data for computing the muscle proportion, the trade class and the associated trade value and market value, and also to rate the quality of slaughtered animal bodies, taking into account legal prescriptions. According to the invention, in an error recognition process for differentiating and identifying complex structures of contours of slaughtered animal bodies, an operator at a workstation designed as a PC interacts with the computer and gives sufficient indications of the unrecognised or incorrectly recognised contour to be searched, by setting, by means of an image reproduction system, at least one support point in one or more zones in which data is to be acquired from measurements in the image of the zone of interest of the slaughtered animal body.
