Abstract: A storage-retrieval management device includes: an image capturer that captures, from above a refrigerator that includes a main body and a door attached to the main body, images of the refrigerator with the door in an open state; a setter that sets a boundary along contours of the main body and the door in the images; and a determiner that determines whether an object is stored into the refrigerator or whether the object is retrieved from the refrigerator, based on whether the object is moved beyond the boundary that is set, the object being captured in one or more of the images.

Abstract: A storage-retrieval management device includes: an image capturer that captures images each including markers as subjects from above a refrigerator that includes a first storage structure and a second storage structure, the images showing a scene in which an object is put into or taken out of the refrigerator, the markers being provided on the first storage structure and the second storage structure, the second storage structure being at a position different from a position of the first storage structure in a vertical direction; and a determiner that determines a storage position at which the object is stored, based on whether the markers included in the images are visible or hidden.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a food management system that can accurately manage a food item contained in a refrigerator. A food management system is configured to manage a food item contained in a refrigerator including a refrigerator compartment and includes a refrigerator compartment camera 21 and a drawer camera 22 configured to capture a moving image, and a food detection unit 221D configured to detect a food item taken into or out of the refrigerator based on the moving image obtained by the image capturing with the refrigerator compartment camera 21 and the drawer camera 22.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a food management system 1000 that can accurately detect a food item contained in a refrigerator 1. The food management system 1000 configured to manage a food item contained in the refrigerator 1 includes a refrigerator compartment camera 21 provided at an upper part of the refrigerator 1 and configured to capture an image of an image capturing range including an opening of a refrigerator compartment 11 of the refrigerator 1; a drawer camera 22 provided at the upper part of the refrigerator 1 and configured to capture an image of an image capturing range including a drawer pulled out of a housing compartment other than the refrigerator compartment 11; and a food detection unit configured to detect a food item taken into or out of the refrigerator 1 based on an image capturing result of at least one of the refrigerator compartment camera 21 and the drawer camera 22.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a food detection device 2 that can accurately detect, with a camera, a food item taken into or out of a refrigerator 1. The food detection device 2 is attached to an upper part of the refrigerator 1 by a user P and configured to detect, with a refrigerator compartment camera 21 and a drawer camera 22, a food item taken into or out of the refrigerator 1 and includes a camera module 220 including the refrigerator compartment camera 21 and the drawer camera 22 configured to capture an image of the refrigerator 1 from an upper front of the refrigerator 1, and an electric power supply unit 230 configured to supply electric power at least to the camera module 220.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imager and an image converter. The imager captures an image of a subject to generate original image data representing the image captured with a predetermined resolution. The image converter performs a predetermined conversion process on the original image data. The image converter reduces a resolution of the original image data to generate first image data representing an entire image represented by the original image data with a resolution being lower than the resolution of the original image data. The image converter clips a part of the image represented by the original image data to generate second image data representing the part of the image clipped from the entire image represented by the original image data.
