AbstractThis research is carried out in order to provide an automated quality solution to inspect processed chicken pieces at real time. The machine also consists of an mechanism to flip the part in order to inspect the both sides of the chicken pieces and an algorithm to analysing its color, shape and size. The whole mechanism is carried out using “ArduinoMega” microprocessor board two USB cameras and the PC. Color based image tracking was used in the process, while the methods of shape context, contour analysis and color segmentation was used to inspect the shape, size and color of the chicken piece respectively. For the mechanical system two conveyor belts were used with a rotating gripper to flip the chicken piece. Results shows that the over roll error of inspecting chicken pieces and delivering results were not exceeded 18%.
