The scandinavian workshop on imaging food quality (SWIFQ) will be held in
conjunction with the scandinavian conference on image analysis (SCIA
2011) on May 27th 2011. Scandinavian universities and industry have a
long tradition and an internationally recognised strength within
industrial vision, multispectral imaging and food production. This
workshop combines these strengths and brings together researchers in
image analysis and computer vision, camera and light source
technology and food technology. The goals and scope of the workshop
are:
The ability to measure quality of food products is a key parameter for
the food industries:
- In sorting of raw materials;
- In maintaining a uniform high quality product with minimum waste; and
- In developing and producing food products with required chemical, physical, sensory, or health related properties.
As well as new technological developments in:
- Imaging sensors sensitive in the visual, near infrared and short wave infrared spectral ranges;
- Laser light emitting diodes and fiber laser illumination sources; and
- Multivariate data analysis which enables new imaging spectrometers with an unprecedented freedom of spectral and geometrical configuration.
Invited speaker:
- Alan Parker, Dept. of Materials and Science, Firmenich SA, Geneva, Switzerland.
