ABSTRACT:
A method for extracting feature information from product images using multivariate image analysis (MIA) to develop predictive models for organoleptic and other feature content and distribution on the imaged product. The imaging system is used to monitor product quality variables in an on-line manufacturing environment. The method may also be integrated into a closed-loop feedback control system in automated systems.
