Diet-related chronic diseases severely affect personal and global health. However, managing or treating these diseases currently requires long training and high personal involvement to succeed. Computer vision systems could assist with the assessment of diet by detecting and recognizing different foods and their portions in images. We propose novel methods for detecting a dish in an image and segmenting its contents with and without user interaction. All methods were evaluated on a database of over 1600 manually annotated images. The dish detection scored an average of 99% accuracy with a .2s/image run time, while the automatic and semi-automatic dish segmentation methods reached average accuracies of 88% and 91% respectively, with an average run time of .5s/image, outperforming competing solutions.

Information about the size of a tumor and its temporal evolution is needed for diagnosis as well as treatment of brain tumor patients. The aim of the study was to investigate the potential of a fully-automatic segmentation method, called BraTumIA, for longitudinal brain tumor volumetry by comparing the automatically estimated volumes with ground truth data acquired via manual segmentation. Longitudinal Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging data of 14 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma encompassing 64 MR acquisitions, ranging from preoperative up to 12 month follow-up images, was analysed. Manual segmentation was performed by two human raters. Strong correlations (R = 0.83-0.96, p < 0.001) were observed between volumetric estimates of BraTumIA and of each of the human raters for the contrast-enhancing (CET) and non-enhancing T2-hyperintense tumor compartments (NCE-T2). A quantitative analysis of the inter-rater disagreement showed that the disagreement between BraTumIA and each of the human raters was comparable to the disagreement between the human raters. In summary, BraTumIA generated volumetric trend curves of contrast-enhancing and non-enhancing T2-hyperintense tumor compartments comparable to estimates of human raters. These findings suggest the potential of automated longitudinal tumor segmentation to substitute manual volumetric follow-up of contrast-enhancing and non-enhancing T2-hyperintense tumor compartments.
