Abstract

Three different cuts of meat samples: inside skirt, knuckles, and sirloin were picture captioned on the first and fifth day after purchase. From each type of meat cut, ten pictures were taken at the beginning and the end of the studied shelf life, obtaining 60 different images. The images were taken under control variables in a black acrylic cabin. In addition to the original images, we proportionate another set of 60 processed images. The latter were obtained after color calibration and meat segmentation. All these images could be used for future experiments where the color in meat should be analyzed.
