The review of food safety inspection system based on artificial intelligence, image processing, and robotic

Abstract

The main target of the current study is to review the latest developments in accurate, reliable, and low-cost non-contact or remote techniques, including the usage of artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods, image processing (IP) system, and sensor technology for quality assessment in the food industry (FI). The IP systems and AI can be used for various purposes, such as classifying products based on size and shape, detecting product defects, the presence of microbes, and grading food quality. The sensor technology is now highly developed to assess food products’ quality and safety due to the dramatic growth of nanotechnology and biotechnology. Also, in this paper, it was tried to examine the role of robots in the FI and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using them in the FI.
