  • Patent number: 10402980
    Abstract: A method and system for using one or more sensors configured to capture two-dimensional and/or three dimensional image data of one or more objects. In particular, the method and system combine one or more digital sensors with visible and near infrared illumination to capture visible and non-visible range spectral image data for one or more objects. The captured spectral image data can be used to separate and identify the one or more objects. Additionally, the three-dimensional image data can be used to determine a volume for each of the one or more objects. The identification and volumetric data for one or more objects can be used individually or in combination to obtain characteristics about the objects. The method and system provide the user with the ability to capture images of one or more objects and obtain related characteristics or information about each of the one or more objects.

  • Publication number: 20130273509
    Abstract: A method of monitoring nutritional intake by image processing is completed through a portable electronic computing device, where the computing device is communicably coupled with a database. At least one meal image is taken by the computing device, where the at least one meal image can be a three-dimensional image, a plurality of images, and a nutritional label image with at least one image. The at least one meal image enables the software to identify at least one component and a portion size of the at least one meal image. Then meal calories and nutritional facts are calculated and stored in order to monitor the intake food of an individual.
