Abstract
A heat treatment monitoring system comprises a sensor unit having at least one sensor to determine current sensor data of food being heated; a processing unit to determine current feature data from the current sensor data; and a monitoring unit adapted to determine a current heating process state in a current heating process of the monitored food by comparing the current feature data with reference feature data of a reference heating process.
Claims13
A system, comprising a computer, the computer comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor, the instructions including instructions to:
- identify a plurality of first pixel data received at a first time as representing a food item;
- determine respective first colors for respective first pixels of the first pixel data;
- identify a plurality of second pixel data that is received at a second time as representing the food item being treated by a heat treatment machine, the second pixel data including second pixels corresponding to respective first pixels in the first plurality of pixel data, whereby the second time is a current time;
- determine respective second colors for respective second pixels of the second pixel data;
- output a current temperature of the heat treatment machine based on differences between the first colors and the second colors at the first and second times;
- and
- output an adjusted temperature of the heat treatment machine based on the differences between the first colors and the second colors at the first and second times.
