Including 3d-textures in a computer vision system to analyze quality traits of loin

Abstract

Texture analysis by co-occurrences on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) involves a non-invasive nor destructive method for studying the distribution of several texture features inside meat products. Traditional methods are based on 2D image sequences, which limit the distribution of texture to a single plane. That implies a loss of information when texture features are studied from different orientations. In this paper a new 3D algorithm is proposed and included in a computer vision system to study the distribution of textures in 3D images of Iberian loin from different orientations. The semantic interpretation of textural composition in each orientation is also reached.
