N2 - Non-invasive food inspection and quality assurance are becoming viable techniques in food production due to the introduction of fast and accessible multispectral X-ray scanners. However, the novel devices produce massive amount of data and there is a need for fast and accurate algorithms for processing it. We apply a sparse classifier for foreign object detection and segmentation in multispectral X-ray. Using sparse methods makes it possible to potentially use fewer variables than traditional methods and thereby reduce acquisition time, data volume and classification speed. We report our results on two datasets with foreign objects, one set with spring rolls and one with minced meat. Our results indicate that it is possible to limit the amount of data stored to 50% of the original size without affecting classification accuracy of materials used for training. The method has attractive computational properties, which allows for fast classification of items in new images.
