Proposing a System to Supporting for Kitchen Knife Skill Improvement using Acceleration Sensor

Abstract

We propose a system to supporting kitchen knife skill improvement using an acceleration sensor attached to the handle of the kitchen knife. This system is capable to judge for the user's cooking skills. We conducted an experiment to judge kitchen knife skills using the proposed system to clarify the amount kitchen knife skill features by masters and beginners. As a result, we were confirmed that three indices such as the mean value of the acceleration for the horizontal direction, the SD value of the acceleration for the anteroposterior direction, and the SD value of the acceleration for the vertical direction were effective as indices to improve the kitchen knife skills of beginners.
