IMAGE PROCESSING FOR THE FOOD INDUSTRY

by E R Davies (University of London)

This monograph provides detailed background on the image processing problems encountered in the food industry when automatic control and inspection systems are being designed and installed. It starts with a careful study of image processing and machine vision methodology, and then goes on to analyse how this can be applied in the main areas of food processing and production. A case study approach is used to give relevance to the work, making the book user-friendly.

This book will help the food industry to observe 'due diligence', and researchers to be more aware of the problems of analysing images of food products.
