WFAFQI

Workshop on Farm Animal and Food Quality Imaging

The workshop on farm animal and food quality imaging (WFAFQI) is a COST-FAIM WG3 algorithms workshop, and will be held in conjunction with the scandinavian conference on image analysis (SCIA 2013) on June 17th 2013. Scandinavian universities and industry have a long tradition and an internationally recognised strength within industrial vision, multispectral imaging, farm animal and food production. This workshop combines these strengths and brings together researchers in image analysis and computer vision, camera and light source technology, farm animal and food technology. The goals and scope of the workshop are:

The ability to measure compositions and quality of farm animals as well as food products are key parameters for the food industries:

  • In optimizing non-destructive in vivo and post mortem imaging and spectroscopic methods for the measurement of body composition and meat quality in major farm animal species;
  • In devicing standardised principles of carcass classification and grading across countries;
  • 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;
  • 2D and 3D imaging and video vision systems; and
  • New algorithms within computer vision and statistical modelling developed to provide for the above mentioned goals.

Invited speakers:

  • Milan Sonka, College of Engineering, The University of Iowa
  • Andy Bulpitt, Computer Vision Group, University of Leeds

Important dates:

  • Submission deadline: 29 April 2013
  • Acceptance notification: 22 May 2013
  • Final version deadline: 1 June 2013
  • SCIA main conference: 18-20 June 2013
  • WFAFQI workshop: 17 June 2013

Registration is through SCIA's homepage.
