Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to reduce errors due to optical environments, we took digital images of food (tomato) with varying freshness under many illumination conditions. We extracted image statistics such as the standard deviation and the skewness of the luminance distribution, which may provide cues for how fresh the food in such images is perceived to be. We used the image statistics as input signals and the elapsed time as supervisory signal for a neural network model in order to predict freshness based on the image statistics. Results reveal that prediction accuracy improved as illumination conditions increased. Furthermore, we conducted a survey using crowdsourcing to identify the relationship between image statistics and visual subjective evaluation.
