Fish Quality Control by Computer Vision

The process specification or the part of the product specification that deals with processing will show the critical points at which operations should be checked. In this context there are two kinds of operations, the work of operatives and the settings on equipment. Instructions about how to make the operation checks should be written down, so that the checks can be made by operatives, checkers, supervisors or QC staff although final responsibility will lie with QC staff. Operations checks can sometimes be combined with product checks, for example where both the way in which a fish is to be trimmed and the form of the trimmed fish are specified, the two can be checked together.
