This thesis presents the development and application of algorithms for the analysis of pig carcasses. Focus is on the simulation and quality estimation of meat products produced in a Danish slaughterhouse. Computed Tomography scans of pig carcasses provide the data used in the application. Image analysis is applied in order to imitate some of the cutting processes found in a slaughterhouse but also to give a quantitative measure of the composition of each carcass. The basis of the algorithms is non-linear image registration. This method finds the anatomical correspondence between a reference carcass and a template carcass. By iteratively comparing the transformed template with the reference a resulting dense deformation field is found. Propagating a set of landmarks from the reference coordinate system onto the template enables the simulation of slaughtering processes. Non-invasively estimating the quality of the slaughtering products provides a very valuable tool for use in the slaughterhouse in the future
