Sub-primal cut identification and packaging optimization system and method

A computer-implemented method of optimizing processing of a sub-primal cut, the method comprising:

• receiving, by an optimization computing device, a plurality of models, wherein each model is associated with a type of sub-primal cut, wherein each model includes at least a first reference shape for detection of a first match characteristic by a first scan type and a second reference shape for detection of a second match characteristic by a second scan type, and wherein each model includes a plurality of attribute characteristic value ranges;
• receiving, by the optimization computing device, a registered scan of a sub-primal cut including a first scan of the first scan type showing the first match characteristic and a second scan of the second scan type showing the second match characteristic;
• identifying, by the optimization computing device, a plurality of attribute characteristics for the sub-primal cut using at least one of the first and second scan types of the registered scan;
• for each model of the plurality of models:
• concurrently aligning the first reference shape of the model to the first match characteristic of the first scan type and the second reference shape of the model to the second match characteristic of the second scan type;
• and
• calculating a plurality of shape match values based on the alignment of the first and second match characteristics with the first and second reference shapes;
• calculating a plurality of attribute match values based on the identified plurality of attribute characteristics compared to the attribute characteristic value ranges;
• determining a best model match for the registered scan using the plurality of attribute match values and the plurality of shape match values;
• and
• assigning a type of sub-primal cut to the sub-primal cut based on the best model match.
