Abstract
For determining properties of individual livestock carcass, in particular cattle carcasses, a carcass or half of a split carcass is placed in a light-screening chamber in front of a light-emitting, contrasting surface. The carcass stands out as a dark silhouette against the contrasting surface and a picture of one entire side of the carcass is registered by means of a video camera. The contour of the carcass is determined by processing the registered picture in a data processing system, and on the basis of the contour determined in the processing system, a calculation of the parameters is performed in the data processing system for determining the properties of the carcass, the result of the determination being displayed or printed out.
