3D Food

3D food modeling is an emerging field focused on creating realistic three-dimensional representations of food items for applications in nutrition monitoring, dietary assessment, and robotics. Current research emphasizes developing accurate and efficient methods for 3D food reconstruction from 2D images, often employing techniques like generative models and structure-from-motion, and incorporating nutritional information directly into the models. This work is driven by the need for improved data sets and algorithms to enable more precise portion estimation and ultimately enhance personalized dietary management and robotic food assistance. The resulting advancements have significant implications for improving public health and assistive technologies.
