This project calibrated the E+V cold carcase grading camera against Australian beef grading standards. The camera was calibrated, and its accuracy validated by comparison with industry expert graders.
The range of attributes being measured is not the full set that meat graders measure. AUS-MEAT provisional approval was achieved for (i) AUS-MEAT Marbling (0-5); (ii) MSA Marbling (100 - 700); (iii) Meat Colour; and (iv) Fat Colour.
The Australian Meat Industry Language and Standards Committee adopted standards proposed by ALMTech and granted the equipment provisional approval on the 19th of November 2019.
