Abstract
Measuring free-living peoples' food intake represents methodological and technical challenges. The Remote Food Photography Method (RFPM) involves participants capturing pictures of their food selection and plate waste and sending these pictures to the research center via a wireless network, where they are analyzed by Registered Dietitians to estimate food intake. Initial tests indicate that the RFPM is reliable and valid, though the efficiency of the method is limited due to the reliance on human raters to estimate food intake. Herein, we describe the development of a semi-automated computer imaging application to estimate food intake based on pictures captured by participants.Entities:
