Description
Summary:The main purpose of this work is to reconstruct 3D model of an entire scene byusing two ordinary cameras. We develop a mobile phone application, based onstereo vision and image analysis algorithms, executed either locally or on a remotehost, to calculate the dietary intake using the current questionnaire and the mobilephone photographs. The information of segmented 3D models are used to calculatethe volume -and then the calories- of a person’s daily intake food. The method ischecked using different solid food samples, in different camera arrangements. Theresults shows that the method successfully reconstructs 3D model of different foodsample with high details.
