Comparison of a computer vision system vs. traditional colorimeter for color evaluation of meat products with various physical properties

- Two methods of color measurement were compared, a computer vision system (CVS) vs a traditional colorimeter.
- Some color parameters differed significantly between the two color-assessment methods.
- CVS color was more laborious to obtain, but was more accurate and representative, especially for non-uniformly colored samples.
- CVS-generated color chips were more similar to the actual sample color in all trials.
- CVS color was more accurate and precise for color traits compared with traditional colorimeter.
