Carcass bruising detection

Detect and count visible bruising on carcasses automatically, for consistent records and less manual inspection. Bruising is checked by eye, which varies between inspectors and shifts, and records are often incomplete.

The problem

Why it matters.

Bruising is checked by eye, which varies between inspectors and shifts, and records are often incomplete. That makes it hard to trace bruising back to suppliers or handling.

What it detects and measures

  • Visible bruising on each carcass
  • How many bruises, and where on the carcass
  • Bruising counts per carcass, lot and supplier
  • Trends by shift, day and supplier
  • An image of each carcass, for review

How it works

Set up in four steps.

Self-service, in the browser, on the cameras you already own.

  1. 01Connect

    Uses a camera already positioned for manual review of carcasses.

  2. 02Set the rule

    Choose which parts of the carcass to check, and link each carcass to its lot or supplier.

  3. 03Measure

    Looks at each carcass as it passes, detects visible bruising and counts each occurrence.

  4. 04Act

    When bruising is higher than usual for a lot, the quality team is notified.

Demonstration footage. Some clips are AI-generated with Google Flow. Others are sample videos from Intel (CC BY 4.0; changes were made: clips are trimmed and overlaid), OpenCV sample data and Mixkit. Detection boxes come from an object-detection model run on each clip; labels and metric values are illustrative.
