Awards issued prior to january 20, 2025, were funded under previous administrations and may not reflect the priorities and policies of the current administration.** the poultry industry is especially concerned about hazardous materials, such as metals, plastics, and bone fragments embedded in boneless meat fillets. Large pieces of chicken bones can be a choking hazard to small children and elderly. Robust and effective automatedinspection solutions that can address this food safety risk in mostcases are still elusive for the poultry industry. The technical solution will feature a combination of multiple sensing and imaging technologies, integration of advanced reliable detection algorithms, fast and effective electronic control and communications, as well as a flexible and friendly user interface. Industry vision automation corp (IVA) is uniquely positioned to build such an advancedsystem that integratingmulti-functional sensing and imaging technologies into one online machine system embedded with the latestartificial intelligent (AI) algorithms to ensure food safety and quality, and to achieve customer satisfactions. The goal of this projectis todevelop an upgraded imaging detection system model by adding new sensing hardware and aialgorithms for enabling accurate poultry deboning quality. IT will also have add-on functions for consistent fillet packaging for improved consumer acceptance. The proposed workcan have significant positive impact to the poultry processingindustry and processingefficiency and productivity.
