PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To acquire a clear image and to improve measurement precision by eliminating noises generated due to electronic equipment or respiration while examining the condition of meat within live stocks, such as cattle, swine or the like, using ultrasonic waves, and to determine the condition of meat of a deep part by measuring the condition of meat near the surface. SOLUTION: Cross sectional images of carcass are acquired by abutting an ultrasonic wave emitting section 11 equipped with an acceleration sensor or a gyro sensor 12 on a farm animal. The acquired images are converted into digital image signals, and the images are discriminated between respiration conditions on the basis of information of the acceleration sensor or gyro sensor 12. Images 27 of a specific identical condition are then extracted from images of each respiration condition, and are subjected to image filter processing to eliminate noises due to electronic equipment and respiration. The condition of meat is determined on the basis of a clear image thus acquired. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
