Device and method for determining and displaying nutrient content and/or value of a food item

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device, a method and a computer program product for displaying at least one quantitative and/or qualitative information on at least one nutrient content and/or value of a food item. At least one optical sensor is required for acquiring at least one image of the arrangement comprising a food item to be analyzed. Means for analyzing the image of the arrangement comprising the food items are also required and that means are adapted at providing a first segmentation of the at least one image and dividing the arrangement into a plurality of separately identifiable food items. Further that means is adapted at identifying at least one scale information of the at least one image and constructing a virtual model reflective of the arrangement comprising the food item. The means for analyzing the arrangement are further adapted at providing a second segmentation of the at least one image where in the second segmentation is for dividing the arrangement into one or more separately identifiable non-food items.
