In particular, food processing imposes special demands upon machinery. For instance the vision sensor must be programmed to detect the position of single and isolated object as well as overlapping or occluding objects. Special grippers have to be designed for handling of food articles such that they have minimum contact with the food items and hence causing minimum damage to them. In this project, started over a year ago, a vision guidance system is being developed to meet this objective. The system integrates the modified version of the Hough transform algorithm as the main recognition engine. The methods and procedures were tested on commercially produced beef burgers. 1. Introduction From the incoming down to the packaging lines, locating, recognizing and handling food objects are very important in food processing industry. These tasks are performed routinely in food industry mainly for quality evaluation and product classification. Such tasks are very laboriously demanding and tend to rely heavily on role of the human operator [1]. Hands of workers using raw materials of animal origin can heavily be contaminated with faecal and other micro-pathogenic organisms [2]. The study by Trickett [3] has shown a strong link between food poisoning and the hygiene standards of food processors. Complete automation of food handling and packaging by means of robotic arm is the most effective means to eliminate influence of manual handling of microbiological quality of foods. Robots have successfully been applied in a wide range of food in
