Quantitative evaluation of photographic diet record using computer vision

对我们来说，具体的健康检查和具体的咨询指导成了强制性的。在预防与生活方式相关的疾病方面，有很多人需要改善自己的饮食。常用的膳食咨询方法有照相膳食调查法和24小时追忆法。在基于召回的方法中，歧义和遗忘是问题。在照相膳食调查方法的情况下，由于存在咬合、菜品种类繁多等干扰，很难准确测量食物的体积。在本文中，我们提出了一种用立体摄像机测量食物大小的系统，以辅助营养管理者。在实验中，我们的系统可以测量几种汉堡包。众所周知，使用我们的系统可以提高估计食物体积的准确性。

It became mandatory for us to the specific health checkup and the specific counseling guidance. There are many people who need to improve his dietary in preventing lifestyle-related diseases. The photographic dietary survey method and 24 hours recall method are often done as the dietary counseling. In the case of recall based method, ambiguity and forgetting are problem. In the case of the photographic dietary survey method, it is difficult to measure the accurate volume of food, because there are many disturbances such as occlusions, varieties of dishes. In this paper, we propose a system which measures the size of the food by stereoscopic camera for assisting the nutrition manager. In the experiments, our system could measure the several kinds of hamburger. It is known that the accuracy of estimated food volume is improved by using our system.
