Abstract
Spectroscopic sensor imaging of food samples meta-processed by deep machine learning models can be used to assess the quality of the sample. This article presents an architecture for estimating microbial populations in meat samples using multispectral imaging and deep convolutional neural networks. The deep learning models operate on embedded platforms and not offline on a separate computer or a cloud server. Different storage conditions of the meat samples were used, and various deep learning models and embedded platforms were evaluated. In addition, the hardware boards were evaluated in terms of latency, throughput, efficiency and value on different data pre-processing and imaging-type setups. The experimental results showed the advantage of the XavierNX platform in terms of latency and throughput and the advantage of Nano and RP4 in terms of efficiency and value, respectively.
