Abstract:

Daily appropriate decision making on nutrition requires application of knowledge where it matters, and being adjusted to the individual requirements.We present a highly personalized mobile application that assists the user in appropriate food choices during grocery shopping, while simultaneously incorporating a personalized dietary recommender system. The application can be used in video based augmented reality mode, where a computer vision algorithm recognizes presented food items and thus replaces tedious search within the food database.The recognition system employs a shallow Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based classier running at 10fps. An innovative user study demonstrates the high usability and user experience of the application. The vision classier is evaluated on a newly introduced reference image database containing 81 grocery foods (vegetables, fruits).
