• Abstract: Increased awareness of the impact of food consumption on health and lifestyle today has given rise to novel data-driven food analysis systems. Although these systems may recognize the ingredients, a detailed analysis of their amounts in the meal, which is paramount for estimating the correct nutrition, is usually ignored. In this paper, we study the novel and challenging problem of predicting the relative amount of each ingredient from a food image. We propose PITA, the Picture-to-Amount deep learning architecture to solve the problem. More specifically, we predict the ingredient amounts using a domain-driven Wasserstein loss from image-to-recipe cross-modal embeddings learned to align the two views of food data. Experiments on a dataset of recipes collected from the Internet show the model generates promising results and improves the baselines on this challenging task. A demo of our system and our data is availableat: foodai.cs.rutgers.edu.

  Current image-based food portion estimation algorithms assume that users take images of their meals one or two times. We introduce an innovative solution that utilizes stationary user-facing cameras to track food items on utensils. The system is reliable for estimation of nutritional content of liquid-solid heterogeneous mixtures such as soups and stews.

  We learn an embedding of images and recipes in a common feature space, such that the corresponding image-recipe embeddings lie close to one another. We propose Semantic-Consistent and Attention-based Networks (SCAN), which regularize the embeddings of the two modalities through aligning output semantic probabilities. We show that we can outperform several state-of-the-art cross-modal retrieval strategies for food images and cooking recipes by a significant margin.
