Seminar: Classifying food texture using vibration eyeglasses
Course/Project description
Chewing produces sound and this vibration also travels in the head, that’s why we can hear and estimate what we are eating. In this project, we will establish a procedure of food texture classification using eyeglasses integrated sensors (vibration sensor and microphone), as a step towards food type classification. You will record in-lab data of eating using eyeglasses prototypes and use the data for food types/texture classification. Additional interesting research questions are open to you, such as: does the size of a bite also relates to vibration?
Learning objectives
- Analysing vibration (~audio) data.
- Perform machine learning technique for texture classification (and weight regression).
