VolETA, developed by the Universitat de Barcelona and the Computer Vision Center, introduces a framework for estimating food volume from one or a few RGBD images. The system uses a reference object for scale determination and achieves a 10.97% Mean Absolute Percentage Error on the MTF dataset for its few-shot approach.

Key insights

  • The few-shot approach provides accurate food volume estimates, achieving a 10.97% Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) on the MTF dataset.
  • A two-step reference object scaling method, involving initial measurement and depth-based fine-tuning, reliably determines absolute scale for reconstructed food items.
  • The keyframe selection process effectively reduces the number of processed frames by 60-80% without a notable impact on reconstruction quality, leading to computational savings.
