A New Angle on Fish Canning

Brent D. Johnson

Existing technology for controlling the desired net weight of canned salmon relies on volumetric principles, which can introduce unacceptable errors. Although computer tomography, positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging offer alternatives to estimating density variations within an object, these techniques are costly and too slow for online measurement. Instead, researchers at the University of British Columbia are developing an optimal portioning method that uses a unique vision system. A laser-based vision system helped automate control over the net weight of canned...Read full article
