Abstract
Introduction
Staying hydrated is an essential aspect of good health for people of all ages. Tracking fluid intake is important to ensure proper hydration and prompt users to drink as needed. Previous literature has attempted to measure the amount of fluid consumption, often using wearables or sensors embedded in containers.
Objective
In this paper, we introduce a novel vision-based method to estimate the amount of fluid consumed.
Methods
We trained different 3D Convolutional Neural Networks on data from 8 participants drinking from multiple containers and engaging in other activities in a simulated home environment.
Results
We show that it is possible to perform both drinking detection and volume intake estimation in a single algorithm with a Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE) of 28.5% and a Mean Percent Error (MPE) of 2.6% with 10-Fold and a MAPE of 42.4% and MPE of 25.4% for Leave-One-Subject-Out cross validation.
Conclusion
This shows that using video inputs does have the potential to detect and estimate the amount of fluid consumed throughout the day.
期刊介绍:
IRBM is the journal of the AGBM (Alliance for engineering in Biology an Medicine / Alliance pour le génie biologique et médical) and the SFGBM (BioMedical Engineering French Society / Société française de génie biologique médical) and the AFIB (French Association of Biomedical Engineers / Association française des ingénieurs biomédicaux).
As a vehicle of information and knowledge in the field of biomedical technologies, IRBM is devoted to fundamental as well as clinical research. Biomedical engineering and use of new technologies are the cornerstones of IRBM, providing authors and users with the latest information. Its six issues per year propose reviews (state-of-the-art and current knowledge), original articles directed at fundamental research and articles focusing on biomedical engineering. All articles are submitted to peer reviewers acting as guarantors for IRBM''s scientific and medical content. The field covered by IRBM includes all the discipline of Biomedical engineering.
