Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to determine an internal property of a food product. The system includes one or more analyzing devices, a camera and a central unit in communication with the camera and analyzing device. The analyzing device is configured to analyze an interior region of the food product. The camera is configured to analyze an external property of the food product. The central unit is configured to determine the internal property of the food product based on feedback provided by the analyzing device and the camera.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- capturing an image of a food product;
- analyzing an interior region of the food product via one or more analyzing devices;
- determining at least one internal property of the food product based on the analyzing of the interior region;
- performing, via a processor, a regression analysis on the at least one internal property for a number of customer transactions, resulting in a model expression related to quality of the food product;
- and
- modifying, via the processor, a purchase order for additional quantities of the food product based on the model expression.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- capturing an image of a food product;
- analyzing an interior region of the food product via one or more analyzing devices;
- determining at least one internal property of the food product based on the analyzing of the interior region;
- performing a regression analysis on the at least one internal property for a number of customer transactions, resulting in a model expression related to quality of the food product;
- and
- modifying a purchase order for additional quantities of the food product based on the model expression.
