Abstract
A method can include determining by photogrammetry, a first volume of a food-product unit and a second volume of a food-product subunit. The food-product subunit can be a separated portion of the food-product unit. The method can further include generating a code for the food-product subunit. The code can include a first identifier for the food-product unit and a second identifier for the food-product subunit. The first identifier can be based, at least in part, on the first volume. The second identifier can be based, at least in part, on the second volume. The method can further include assigning the code to the food-product subunit.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining by photogrammetry, a first volume of a food-product unit and a second volume of a food-product subunit, the food-product subunit being a separated portion of the food-product unit;
- generating a code for the food-product subunit, the code comprising a first identifier for the food-product unit and a second identifier for the food-product subunit,
- wherein the first identifier is based, at least in part, on the first volume,
- wherein the second identifier is based, at least in part, on the second volume;
- and
- assigning the code to the food-product subunit.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory in communication with the processor, the memory containing program instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- determining by photogrammetry, a first volume of a food-product unit and a second volume of a food-product subunit, the food-product subunit being a separated portion of the food-product unit;
- generating a code for the food-product subunit, the code comprising a first identifier for the food-product unit and a second identifier for the food-product subunit,
- wherein the first identifier is based, at least in part, on the first volume,
- wherein the second identifier is based, at least in part, on the second volume;
- and
- assigning the code to the food-product subunit.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- determining by photogrammetry, a first volume of a food-product unit and a second volume of a food-product subunit, the food-product subunit being a separated portion of the food-product unit;
- generating a code for the food-product subunit, the code comprising a first identifier for the food-product unit and a second identifier for the food-product subunit,
- wherein the first identifier is based, at least in part, on the first volume,
- wherein the second identifier is based, at least in part, on the second volume;
- and
- assigning the code to the food-product subunit.
