Automatic detection of bone fragments in poultry using multi-energy x-rays

摘要: At least two linear arrays of x-ray detectors are placed below a conveyor belt in poultry processing plant. Multiple-energy sources illuminate the and detected by detectors. Laser profilometry is used to measure thickness as data acquired. The detector readout processed real time detect presence small highly attenuating fragments poultry, i.e., bone, metal, cartilage.
