Facet Technology Corp. Begins Pursuit of Meat and Poultry Processing Market

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN, February 5, 2002— Facet Technology Corp., a computer vision software and services company, today announced their new marketing emphasis on the meat and poultry processing industries. These markets represent vast opportunities for growth with the use of the Company’s innovative computer vision technology.

“Natural food processing was identified early in the Company’s development as a key growth market for innovative computer vision techniques,” stated Jamie Retterath, Facet Technology Corp. president. “Meat and poultry processors have traditionally been on the sidelines when it comes to the implementation of computer vision in the factory. With the new multi-filter inspection techniques developed by Facet Technology Corp., these producers can realize true, unattended factory automation.”

“Traditional computer vision techniques rely on template matching or geometric searching to perform factory inspection tasks, which work fine for man-made objects,” added Robert Laumeyer, Facet Technology Corp. Chief Technical Officer. “Natural food products, however, create a different challenge since they’re not uniform and they cannot be easily described mathematically. Multi-filter object inspection represents a new wave in computer vision.”
