The invention relates to a method for the non-invasive determination of the grade, trade value, market value and the quality of a slaughtered animal carcass, based on optical image processing. Said method fulfils the conditions of the pertinent official regulations and acts and is rapid and cost-effective to implement. According to the invention, results data of weight percentages from single joint yields that have been obtained during the cutting tests of a sufficient number of slaughtered carcasses are correlated with the characteristic measured values and parameters determined from the ham and loin regions of both sides of a slaughtered animal carcass, taking into consideration the total weight, in order to obtain relationship data. During the slaughter operation, a simulation calculation is then carried out using the existing relationship data to estimate the single joint yields, taking into consideration the total weight of the two sides of a slaughtered animal carcass and the characteristic measured values and parameters that have been determined specifically in the ham and loin regions for said carcass. In one embodiment of the invention, the single joint yields are estimated solely on the basis of the characteristic measured values and parameters that have been determined specifically in the ham and loin regions. |
