Take a picture and tell me how much heat is in the food.

Mobile camera This sensor combines powerful algorithms to generate the ability to recognize the things that can be done too much, and the recent Sri Lab, which provides technical support for iphone Siri, has launched a project called Ceres, taking a photo, analyzing the composition of the food, and estimating the amount of calories you're consuming. There's an app called Mealsnap that looks like it.

Ceres will also introduce more accurate calorie calculations by introducing other data locations (such as McDonald's) or things that have been eaten before. The VP of SRI Ventures even talked to Gigaom about eating, and other applications of food recording data. Of course, the most important technology is image recognition.

At present Ceres is only a project, not a product. The future may be introduced to consumers in the form of apps, visual inspection is a good tool, may also be able to turn to good services, such as slimming applications, recipes, cooking programs and other applications.
