Seminar: Categorising food intake from chewing vibration

Symbolbild zum Artikel. Der Link öffnet das Bild in einer großen Anzeige.
Some of the typical food categories to be classified.

Background

Determining what food is consumed during a meal is a central research challenge of Automated Dietary Monitoring (ADM). During chewing, food breaks down and generates unique vibration signals which can be recorded with sensor-integrated wearables. Chewing vibration data usually contain rich information highly related to the food intake, thus can be used to infer the food categories.

 

Aim

Build machine learning models to classify food categories with chewing vibration data.

 

Learning objectives

  • Apply audio signal processing techniques.
  • Apply machine learning algorithms to solve practical classification problems.
