Slaughterhouse device, determines desired carcass processing position by generating linear image of carcass and processing image to detect carcass anatomy irregularity for use as reference

摘要

The measuring device for determining the desired carcass processing position generates a linear image of the carcass (10) and includes an imaging device (22) connected to a processor (27) for detecting an irregularity in the carcass anatomy and using this irregularity as a reference for operating the carcass positioning device. A slaughterhouse device for processing an animal carcass comprises a positioning device for the carcass, a measuring device for determining a desired processing position and a device for processing the carcass in the desired position. The measuring device includes a light source (21) for generating a linear image of the carcass and an imaging device connected to a processor for detecting an irregularity in the carcass anatomy and operating the positioning device as a function of the detected irregularity. An Independent claim is also included for the measuring device.
