Machine Vision and Eating Behaviour

Machine Vision and Eating Behaviour

This is an AI-powered project that includes Bitecounter and the Eatpol Toolkit for automated analysis of eating behavior. Bitecounter detects bites using facial landmarks from video, while the Eatpol Toolkit tracks eating speed, counts bites, chews, and sips. It can even identify the fastest researcher to eat a cookie!

The Smart Tray

The Smart Tray

We are using facial landmark detection as well as deep learning to real-time analyze chewing behavior and eating rate. This can be useful both for regular people and understanding how they eat, as well as for specific situations such as underweight elderly.
