Abstract

All over the world the consumption of poultry meat is increasing. To maintain a high standard and secure a healthy produce, every bird is inspected visually for bruises and diseases. This becomes increasingly more difficult as production speeds push beyond 12,000 birds per hour. The solution is of course computer vision.
In this talk I will present the challenges of this task and my ideas for a solution. Your ideas are welcome. I will also talk about how it is to be an industrial PhD and how this might be different from a regular PhD.

Bio

Anders Jørgensen is currently working as an industrial PhD at AAU in collaboration with IHFood. Since he finished his master degree in Computer Vision in 2011, he has worked with image processing and image acquisition, and with the challenges of using it in real world scenarios.
