The potential of short-wave infrared hyperspectral imaging and deep learning for dietary assessment: a prototype on predicting closed sandwiches fillings by Esther Kok, Aneesh Chauhan, Michele Tufano, Edith Feskens, Guido Camps

“…IntroductionAccurate measurement of dietary intake without interfering in natural eating habits is a long-standing problem in nutritional epidemiology. We explored the applicability of hyperspectral imaging and machine learning for dietary assessment of home-prepared meals, by building a proof-of-concept, which automatically detects food ingredients inside closed sandwiches.MethodsIndividual spectra were selected from 24 hyperspectral images of assembled closed sandwiches, measured in a spectral range of 1116.14 nm to 1670.62 nm over 108 bands, pre-processed with Standard Normal Variate filtering, derivatives, and subsampling, and fed into multiple algorithms, among which PLS-DA, multiple classifiers, and a simple neural network.ResultsThe resulting best performing models had an accuracy score of ~80% for predicting type of bread, ~60% for butter, and ~ 28% for filling type. …”
