•A color-based automatic control system on Combi Oven is designed.•A novel level set segmentation algorithm to extract the area of roasting chicken is presented.•A new indicator on tracking changed browning color during roasting is developed.
In this paper, we develop a color-based automatic control system for roasting chicken industry by using the modern Combi Oven and new image processing techniques. Firstly, we embedded a video camera into the Combi Oven and design a color monitoring system. Secondly, a new segmentation technique based on level set approach is developed. Thirdly, a new color indicator is defined for color quality control. Finally, extensive experiments have been conducted to validate the proposed segmentation approach and the effectiveness of the developed system.
