Role of Computer Vision Technologies in Food Industries: Food Quality Solution

Abstract

Computer Vision technology is being increasingly embraced in the food sector to enhance product quality, safety, and efficiency. In this systematic review, the pros and cons of its use are examined. Benefits include improved quality control, increased productivity, standardization, enhanced food safety, and valuable data collection for traceability. Nonetheless, the implementation of Computer Vision also comes with some major challenges like high capital expenditure, technical complexity, integration problems, and the requirement for qualified staff. It is vital to understand these benefits and challenges for food industry stakeholders who wish to utilize Computer Vision technologies successfully. This analysis underscores the call for further cross-disciplinary study, adaptive algorithm development, and academia-industry collaborations to help overcome present-day obstacles. All in all, Computer Vision carries a lot of promise to contribute to efficiency, safety, and sustainability in food manufacturing if technical and practical obstacles are approached deliberately.
