AI Technical Summary
Existing automated cutting methods are difficult to adapt to the natural curvature and local thickness variations of meat with bone, resulting in large deviations in the cutting position. Furthermore, there is a lack of effective spatial coordinate transformation and system error compensation between visual scanning and mechanical cutting, which affects cutting accuracy and reliability.
A 3D point cloud-based intelligent cutting method is adopted, which achieves precise cutting by point cloud acquisition and 3D reconstruction, preprocessing, independent rib segmentation, skeleton curve extraction and fitting, combined with adaptive normal tangent construction and coordinate transformation compensation.
It improves the accuracy and consistency of cutting, ensures that the cut surface can dynamically conform to complex curved surface shapes, reduces overcutting or undercutting, and enhances the system's positioning robustness and cutting accuracy on complex surfaces.
