In this paper we present an image processing application for quantification of pores in pig meat images. The aim is to study the relationship between the number and size distribution of pores and process condition and genotype. We used digital camera photographs of slices of tumbled and non-tumbled processed pork loins of different RN genotype. We describe a method to extract and count the number and size of pores. We propose a new approach, based on fractal theory, to quantify the size distribution of pores. Our results show that image analysis in conjunction with fractal models can be useful in this field.
