Design of Image Processing Tool Using MATLAB for Freshness Assessment of Beef and Pork

Abstract

Filipinos, regarding meat consumption are more than global average. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development 2017 study, an ordinary Filipino eat 14.2 kilograms of pork which is two kilogram above world's pork consumption yearly while 3 kilos when in terms of beef. In the 2019 forecast, the trend increases at 15.8 kilos for pork and 3.2 kilos for beef. Freshness is the state of being made recently or not having declined on meat or food specifically. Cherry Red is the ideal color for fresh beef, and it should be reddish pink for fresh pork. Color can clearly affect their safety when the consumer eats the spoiled meat or even hot meat. Digital image processing is the use of computer algorithms for digital image processing. It is also used to manipulate images. Digital image processing has two main goals: human image enhancement; and autonomous machine perception, storage, transmission, and representation image data processing.
