We have used more channels from the visible spectrum than the standard red, green and blue, for the colour classification. By extracting the right information from the channels, the machine measure the colour in the same way as human perceives colour. The colours are graded from light pink to dark red based on a standard developed by the fish industry (SalmoFan™).
The machine classifies the whole fillet fast and robust. This gives the industry new possibilities in using the colour consistency for cutting the fillet or downgrading the fillet.
The measurements show that the colours in pre-rigor fillets are more towards yellow than the SalmoFan™ is.
