PROCESS FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF CARCASSES OF LARGE CATTLE, CALVES, PIGS OR SHEEP AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION.

Abstract

Abstract This method consists in resting a half-carcase (4) on a support (7, 9) on the longitudinal face of the half-carcase corresponding to the axis of symmetry of the carcase, as well as on its dorsal face, in proximity to the lower part of the latter, that is to say the part situated on the side of the collar of the animal, in angularly positioning the carcase to take optical shots (C, D, E) at different angles, in the region of the hind quarters, of the thigh, of the upper part of the backbone and of the front part of the half-carcase corresponding to the bottom zone of the latter, in storing the shots in the memory of a computer, which already contains measurements of the weight and length of the half-carcase, in freeing the latter from the surfaces (7, 9) on which it is resting, then in processing the information obtained while taking account of theoretical information to make the classification of the carcase.
