Claim 14:
15. A system ensuring quality for cuts of meat, the system comprising:
a controller;
a neural network model;
a database, wherein the database is configured to store meat cut specifications and is coupled to the controller;
wherein the control circuit is configured to during an execution phase subsequent to a training phase:
receive, from an image capture device an image of a cut of meat;
receive from a depth sensor depth data associated with the cut of meat;
retrieve, from the database, a meat cut specification associated with the cut of meat;
evaluate the cut of meat based on the meat cut specification associated with the cut of meat, the image of the cut of meat, and the depth data associated with the cut of meat; and
classify the cut of meat based on the evaluation of the cut of meat;

wherein the meat cut specification is created by the control circuit using the neural network model during the training phase, wherein during the training phase the control circuit receives training images including markings, wherein the training images with the markings are presented on a screen of an electronic device with a plurality of classification indicators, each of the plurality of classification indicators indicating a meat classification, wherein the markings in the training images are provided onto the image by a user utilizing the electronic device, and wherein the user designates each of the areas in each of the images indicated by the markings as being properly or improperly cut by selecting a classification indicator on the screen to associate with the designated area, wherein during the training phase the control circuit generates, using the neural network model, the meat cut specification based upon an analysis of the areas in the training images bounded by the markings and the designations of the user.
