手機一掃就能判別食物熱量! @ 凢米莎瘦身日記

看過許多瘦身文章不難發現都會在倡導"飲食+運動"雙管齊下是最有效的方式

飲食不外乎就是要注重"熱量""低GI"，可是食物種類眾多對於初學者來說要一直查閱熱量有多少其實是個很大的難題

而且在吃東西前還要在那查詢感覺很矯情，如果有人發明手機一掃描就立刻知道熱量，不用辛苦的填寫以及尋找每個食材的卡路里，可以省下許多時間

能夠幫助減肥者更有效的實施"飲食+運動"，即使是小額付費相信也是會有許多人願意下載，現在真的有人發明出來!

這是由一家軟體公司(vicarious)所研發出來，主要是在針對破解輸入辨別碼的程式(CAPTCHA)，對於能夠影像辨別知道熱量只有提到一小段

It’s not the first time that computer scientists have managed to fool this method of separating man from machine. But Vicarious says its technique is more reliable and more useful than others because it doesn’t require mountains of training data for it to recognize letters and numbers consistently. Nor does it take a lot of computing power. Vicarious does it with a visual perception system that can mimic the brain’s ability to process visual information and recognize objects.

The purposes go well beyond Captchas: Vicarious hopes to eventually sell systems that can easily extract text and numbers from images (such as in Google’s Street View maps), diagnose diseases by checking out medical images, or let you know how many calories you’re about to eat by looking at your lunch. “Anything people do with their eyes right now is something we aim to be able to automate,” says cofounder D. Scott Phoenix.
