THE EXPERIMENT

Two different types of cheese with several different colorful or transparent plastics were used. Scans were recorded on the perClass Mira Stage using the MV.C NIR camera from Headwall.

Our objective was to detect foreign objects (colorful and transparent plastics) on top of the cheese using the perClass Mira Stage and Software in the NIR range, and compute the confusion matrix per object for the entire test set.

All 28 foreign objects were detected. There was no false detection.

Headwall’s MV.C NIR and the perClass Mira Software provide a solution for detecting foreign objects commonly found in cheese manufacturing and packaging. Both colorful and transparent plastics can be detected on several types of cheese. Coordinates of foreign bodies can be provided to the actuators for foreign object removal.

Hyperspectral Imaging for Quality Control and Food Fraud Prevention

Hyperspectral imaging is a great tool for quality control in production lines. It continues to provide time- and money-saving solutions for various industries, giving a real-time, non-contact solution for detecting the unseen. It not only works on cheese, but also in the:

  • Meat industry, detecting plastics, labels, and bones
  • Fish industry, detecting nets or seaweed in mussels
  • Vegetable industry to detect natural objects like rocks in potatoes or spinach, and more!
