USDA Uses Remote Sensing and ENVI to Detect Food Contaminants Customer Challenge Food contaminants are a problem for both food distributors and consumers. Poultry can be particularly dangerous, as contaminants can cause serious health issues. The USDA needed a way, using remotely sensed imagery, to detect contaminated poultry before it ever leaves the production line. Solution Achieved When most people think of remote sensing, spacecraft and orbiting satellites might be what come to mind. But researchers at the USDA Agricultural Research Service have taken the potential of remotely sensed imagery a step further, and into an application that directly affects consumer health and safety. The USDA’s Poultry Processing Research Unit, uses remotely sensed imagery and ENVI to inspect and a
