[0002] In the process of processing pork ribs, the soft mid-front section after separation of ribs needs to be manually located at the edge of the crescent bone to achieve precise division, separating the soft mid-front section into the soft mid section and the front section without ribs. Then, the soft mid section undergoes secondary processing and is cut into pork belly with skin and No. 3 meat products with fat.

[0003] Currently, the separation of the soft mid-front segment often relies on manual positioning of the crescent bone, which has a large identification error, affecting the yield of multi-colored products and also carries the risk of cutting the crescent bone, resulting in profit loss. At the same time, the processing of the soft mid-front segment produces a large number of products, and manual processing and separation of these products is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.

[0004] Against this backdrop, designing a soft mid-front segmentation method, system, device, equipment, and medium to automatically identify and locate the crescent bone position through an algorithm model, replacing manual positioning, has become a key research topic in the existing technology field.

By using a semantic segmentation model for identification and marking, the influence of subjective human factors is eliminated, ensuring accurate marking of the crescent bone in the anterior segment of the soft midsection and preventing the risk of accidental damage to the crescent. Simultaneously, it innovatively utilizes a semantic segmentation model to first predict the crescent bone position, and then plans semantic segmentation trajectory points based on semantic segmentation image analysis to form a segmentation scheme. Therefore, this invention, based on semantic segmentation image analysis, accurately predicts the position of the crescent bone in the anterior segment of the soft midsection, solving the problems caused by manual annotation, effectively improving the segmentation accuracy and efficiency of the anterior segment of the soft midsection, and is suitable for the needs of modern meat processing production lines.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the first aspect of the present invention discloses a soft mid-front segmentation method, the method comprising: S110, An image acquisition device is deployed on the meat processing production line to acquire the original image of the front section of the soft mid-section to be segmented; wherein, the image acquisition device includes a planar camera, which is used to acquire 2D image information of the original image of the front section of the soft mid-section to be segmented, and the acquired 2D information is used for target semantic segmentation map. S120, the original image is input into a pre-trained semantic segmentation model for inference analysis, accurately predicting the location of the crescent bone within the anterior segment of the soft midline (e.g., ...). Figure 2 The image is generated by analyzing the original image to predict the position of the crescent bone inside the segmented object, thus obtaining the semantic segmentation image. S130, based on the analysis of the semantic segmentation image, plan segmentation trajectory points; wherein, the semantic segmentation image boundaries are extracted from the 2D image information and converted into segmentation trajectory points. In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the segmentation trajectory points include 6 trajectory points. Two trajectory points are used for the segmentation of the soft middle and front sections, that is, cutting along the green line. The left side of the green line is the soft middle section, and the right side of the green line is the soft front section. Four trajectory points are used for the segmentation of the soft middle section. That is, after the soft middle section and the soft front section are separated, cutting is performed along the yellow line. The upper part between the yellow line and the green line is No. 3 meat, and the lower part between the yellow line and the green line is pork belly. S140, execute the segmentation plan according to the segmentation trajectory points; first, cut the soft middle section and soft front section according to the green lines marked by the above two trajectory points to complete the separation, and then cut the No. 3 meat and pork belly according to the yellow lines marked by the above four trajectory points to complete the separation.

[0027] Compared with existing technologies, this application has the following advantages: This invention completely replaces manual marking of the crescent bone in the anterior segment of the soft midsection, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of crescent bone position marking on meat processing production lines, and adapting to the production needs of modern production lines. By using a semantic segmentation model for identification and marking, the influence of subjective human factors is eliminated, ensuring accurate marking of the crescent bone in the anterior segment of the soft midsection and preventing the risk of accidental damage to the crescent. Simultaneously, it innovatively utilizes a semantic segmentation model to first predict the crescent bone position, and then plans semantic segmentation trajectory points based on semantic segmentation image analysis to form a segmentation scheme. Therefore, this invention, based on semantic segmentation image analysis, accurately predicts the position of the crescent bone in the anterior segment of the soft midsection, solving the problems caused by manual annotation, effectively improving the segmentation accuracy and efficiency of the anterior segment of the soft midsection, and is suitable for the needs of modern meat processing production lines.

[0028] Following the above embodiments, more specifically, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the semantic segmentation model is trained through the following steps: Obtain a batch of soft anterior segment separation lines marked by professionals (experienced individuals) to predict the location of the lunula; An algorithm model is built through data training, and new incoming materials generate a soft mid-front separation line based on the algorithm model. Segmentation was performed based on the soft mid-front segment separation line, and the actual test results were measured. Data that exactly cut to the edge of the lunula were saved as the ground value dataset. Repeat the above process, continuously updating the ground truth dataset through manual annotation, segmentation, and comparison, and then train the semantic segmentation model using all the ground truth datasets.

[0029] It should be noted that both the data and the ground truth dataset were trained using the YOLOv8 object detection model.

[0030] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the segmentation trajectory points are converted into coordinate information acceptable to the robotic arm, and the data is sent to the robotic arm. The robotic arm converts the coordinate information to obtain the segmentation trajectory coordinates that the segmenting tool can execute. The robotic arm controls the segmenting tool to segment the soft mid-section and the soft middle section according to the segmentation trajectory coordinates. The robotic arm is an existing industrial robot that can move in multiple directions with the segmenting tool, thereby enabling the segmenting tool to complete the cutting.

[0031] Furthermore, the segmented trajectory coordinates are obtained through the following steps: The coordinate information is obtained by calculating the angle between two points in the 2D plane to obtain the attitude angle of the segmentation tool movement; The attitude angle and coordinate information are processed and sent to the robotic arm. After receiving the information, the robotic arm converts the acquired point information according to the set tool coordinate system to obtain the segmented trajectory coordinates.

[0032] A second aspect of the present invention discloses a soft mid-front segmentation system, such as Figure 5 As shown, it includes: A planar camera 22 and a robotic arm 23 are arranged sequentially above the conveyor line 21 in the direction of conveying. A first photoelectric sensor 24 and a second photoelectric sensor 25 are respectively arranged on the conveyor line 21 below the planar camera 21 and the robotic arm 23. Planar camera 21 is used to acquire image information from the front end of the software. Robotic arm 23 is used to drive the dividing cutter 26 to execute the dividing scheme; The host computer is used to store and run the above-mentioned software-to-front-end segmentation method. The host computer is electrically connected to the PLC. The PLC is responsible for triggering detection and receiving results to control physical actions. The PLC is electrically connected to the conveyor line 21, the robotic arm 23, the planar camera 21, the first photoelectric sensor 24, the second photoelectric sensor 25, and the dividing cutter 26.

[0033] The workflow of this system is as follows: 1. The conveyor line 21 includes a photo-taking conveyor line 212 and a separation conveyor line 213. The soft mid-section enters below the planar camera 21 under the action of the photo-taking conveyor line 212, triggers the first photoelectric sensor 24 and sends a signal to the PLC. The PLC controls the photo-taking conveyor line 212 to stop, and the PLC sends a photo-taking command to the host computer. The host computer controls the planar camera 21 to complete the image acquisition of the soft mid-section. 2. After the image acquisition is completed, the host computer sends feedback information to the PLC. The PLC controls the image-taking conveyor line 212 to move, so that the raw material moves. When it reaches the position, it triggers the second photoelectric sensor 25 and sends a feedback signal to the PLC. The PLC then controls the image-taking conveyor line 212 to stop moving. 3. Through training the pre-trained soft mid-front-end model, semantic segmentation is performed on the image, the boundary line of the segmented image is extracted, 6 trajectory points on the two-blade segmentation trajectory line are extracted and converted into trajectory point information, the attitude angle of the segmentation tool 26 is calculated by the trajectory algorithm, and the coordinate and attitude information are converted into information acceptable to the robotic arm 23 and sent to the robotic arm 23. The execution segmentation signal is fed back to the PLC. 4. The PLC receives the execution segmentation signal from the host computer, the robotic arm 23 obtains the trajectory signal, executes the trajectory signal, the segmentation cutter 26 segments the front section of the soft middle section, and reaches the waiting position of the second cutter, and sends the signal that the first cut is completed to the PLC; the PLC obtains the signal that the first cut is completed, and controls the separation conveyor line 213 to start, so that the line accelerates to drive the front section to separate. After the second photoelectric sensor 25 detects no sensing signal, it sends the signal that the front section is separated to the robotic arm 23. 5. The robotic arm 23 receives the execution signal and executes the second cutting trajectory. After the second cutting is completed, the pork belly with skin and the No. 3 pork with fat flow into the rear line to complete the unloading. The second photoelectric sensor 25 is triggered, and the PLC receives the cutting completion information and proceeds to cut the next piece of raw material. The next piece of raw material is fed from the front line, and the cycle continues.

[0034] Following the above embodiments, more specifically, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the cutting tool 26 includes a mounting plate 1, on which a disc blade 2, a drive unit 3, and a meat-shoveling inclined plate 4 are mounted. The disc blade 2 and the drive unit 3 are connected, and the drive unit 3 drives the disc blade 2 to rotate. The meat-shoveling inclined plate 4 is located below the disc blade 2 and does not contact it. When the disc blade 2 cuts meat, the meat-shoveling inclined plate 4 is used to lift the meat, ensuring that the disc blade 2 completely cuts through the meat. The drive unit 3 includes a servo motor and a reducer. The servo motor drives the disc blade 2 to rotate at high speed through the reducer, thereby achieving the segmentation of soft meat.

[0035] The drive device 3 drives the disc cutter 2 to rotate. When the disc cutter 2 approaches the meat, the meat is first lifted up by the meat scraper 4. At this time, there will be a gap between the meat and the conveyor line. Because of the gap, the disc cutter 2 can not only cut through the meat according to the cutting requirements, but also will not touch the conveyor line.

[0036] Continuing with the above embodiment, more specifically, the front end of the meat-shoveling inclined plate 4 is tapered and has an arc-shaped groove 41 in the middle, into which the blade of the disc knife 2 can be embedded. The tapered front end of the meat-shoveling inclined plate 4 facilitates the shoveling of meat pieces on the conveyor line, making it easier for the meat pieces to be lifted by the meat-shoveling inclined plate 4. Furthermore, the design of the middle groove 41 creates a structure that is high at both ends and low in the middle, preventing the lifted meat pieces from slipping off the meat-shoveling inclined plate 4. Simultaneously, the design of the disc knife 2's blade embedding into the arc-shaped groove 41 creates a gap between the bottom of the meat piece and the meat-shoveling inclined plate 4. This allows the disc knife 2 to cut through the bottom of the meat piece without touching the meat-shoveling inclined plate 4.

[0037] Following the above embodiment, more preferably, the rear end of the meat-shoveling inclined plate 4 is provided with a pre-separation pressing rod 5 for pressing a dividing line on the meat. The separation of the soft front and middle sections of meat includes the separation of the front and middle sections, and the separation of the pork belly and No. 3 meat in the middle section. For example, when separating the pork belly and No. 3 meat in the middle section, the pre-separation pressing rod 5 can be used to press the meat block, clearly separating the pork belly and No. 3 meat (tenderloin) along the texture of the meat. This makes it easier for the robot to recognize the meat block image and thus more accurately determine the cutting trajectory of the disc knife 2.

[0038] Following the above embodiment, more preferably, the mounting plate 1 is provided with a protective cover 7 for preventing meat scraps from splashing and a scraper 8 for cleaning meat scraps remaining on the disc blade 2. The protective cover 7 is positioned above the disc blade 2 to prevent meat scraps or sawdust oil remaining on the disc blade 2 from splashing. The scraper 8 can scrape off the meat scraps remaining on the disc blade 2 to facilitate cleaning of the disc blade 2.

[0039] like Figure 8 As shown, a third aspect of the present invention discloses a soft mid-front segmentation device, comprising: The acquisition module 201 is used to deploy an image acquisition device on the meat processing production line to trigger the acquisition of the original image of the front section of the soft mid-section to be segmented; wherein, the image acquisition device includes a planar camera, which is used to acquire 2D image information of the original image of the front section of the soft mid-section to be segmented, and to acquire 2D information for target semantic segmentation map. The lunulae prediction module 202 inputs the original image into a pre-trained semantic segmentation model for inference analysis, accurately predicts the position of the lunulae inside the soft mid-front segment, and generates a semantic segmentation image; wherein, the semantic segmentation model analyzes the original image to predict the position of the lunulae inside the segmented object, and obtains the semantic segmentation image. The segmentation trajectory point determination module 203 plans segmentation trajectory points based on the analysis of the semantic segmentation image; in one embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the segmentation trajectory points include 6 trajectory points. Two trajectory points are used for the segmentation of the soft middle and front sections, that is, cutting along the green line. The left side of the green line is the soft middle section, and the right side of the green line is the soft front section. Four trajectory points are used for the segmentation of the soft middle section. That is, after the soft middle section and the soft front section are separated, cutting is performed along the yellow line. The upper part between the yellow line and the green line is No. 3 meat, and the lower part between the yellow line and the green line is pork belly. Execution module 204 executes the segmentation scheme according to the segmentation trajectory points; first, it cuts and separates the soft middle section and soft front section according to the green lines marked by the above two trajectory points, and then cuts and separates the No. 3 meat and pork belly according to the yellow lines marked by the above four trajectory points.
