[Food intake behavior monitoring]
Recently many products or services are being introduced to monitor calories through analyzing user's food intake behavior. However, it provided low usability that users should write dietary information manually and some cannot be used in a normal daily life. In this work, we proposed automatic food intake detection method based on accelerometer and gyroscope sensors of smart watches. This system detected wrist motion of eating activity and recognized food intake time, count, term in real time.
