Image Recognition
The two researchers from SMU’s School of Computing and Information Sciences, Professor Ngo Chong Wah and Associate Professor Rajesh Balan, already have extensive experience in food recognition and logging. “The whole idea of the current project is food recognition,” Professor Ngo told the Office of Research. The research project will involve some 40 people participating in food logging over four weeks. SMU is already working with government agencies and external companies on food recognition services. At this stage, it is all about developing a machine learning system that will, at least, recognise food images correctly.
