Dear Colleagues,

We are really happy to announce the 3rd International Workshop on
Multimedia Assisted Dietary Management (MADiMa2017) in conjunction
with the 19th International Conference on Image Analysis and
Processing

The workshop will take place on September 11th or 12th, 2017 in
Catania, Italy. Following you can find the 1st call for papers. More
details you can find on our website (www.madima.org)

Within the next days we will announce the organization of a demo
session within MADiMa2017, while a "Best Paper Award" was launched.
The best paper presented in the workshop will be recommended for
fast-track review in the Computer Vision and Image Understanding
journal. We will keep you informed and we truly looking forward to
your participation.

Best regards and see you in Catania,

Stavroula Mougiakakou

3rd International Workshop on Multimedia Assisted Dietary Management
(MADiMa2017) In conjunction with the the 19th International Conference
on Image Analysis and Processing, 11 or 12 September 2017, Catania
Italy

Website: www.madima.org

Submission Deadline: 15 June 2017

RATIONALE
=========

The prevention of onset and progression of diet-related acute and
chronic diseases (e.g. diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and
cancer) requires reliable and intuitive dietary management. The need
for accurate, automatic, real-time and personalized dietary advice has
been recently complemented by the advances in computer vision and
smartphone technologies, permitting the development of the first
mobile food multimedia content analysis applications. The proposed
solutions rely on the analysis of multimedia content captured by
wearable sensors, smartphone cameras, barcode scanners, RFID readers
and IR sensors, along with already established nutritional databases
and often require some user input. In the field of nutritional
management, multimedia not only bridges diverse information and
communication technologies, but also computer science with medicine,
nutrition and dietetics. This confluence brings new challenges and
opportunities on dietary management.

SCOPE
=====

MADiMa2017 aims to bring together researchers from the diverse fields
of engineering, computer science and nutrition who investigate the use
of information and communication technologies for better monitoring
and management of food intake. The combined use of multimedia, machine
learning algorithms, ubiquitous computing and mobile technologies
permit the development of applications and systems able to monitor the
dietary behavior, analyze food intake, identify eating patterns and
provide feedback to the user towards healthier nutrition. The
researchers will present their latest progress and discuss novel ideas
in the field. Besides the technologies used, emphasis will be given to
the precise problem definition, the available nutritional databases,
the need for benchmarking multimedia databases of packed and unpacked
food and the evaluation protocols.

TOPICS
======

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

  - Ubiquitous and mobile computing for dietary assessment
  - Computer vision for food detection, segmentation and recognition
  - Deep learning for food analysis
  - 3D reconstruction for food portion estimation
  - Augmented reality for food portion estimation
  - Wearable sensors for food intake detection
  - Computerized food composition (nutrients, allergens) analysis
  - Multimedia technologies for eating monitoring
  - Food image analysis and social media
  - Smartphone technologies for dietary behavioral patterns
  - Food multimedia databases
  - Evaluation protocols of dietary management systems
  - Multimedia assisted self-management of health and disease
  - ICT technologies for tackling mal- and undernutrition
  - Vision techniques for food quality check

PROCEEDINGS
===========

The MADiMa 2017 workshop follows the guidelines of the ICIAP 2017
conference. The review process will be singe blind.

BEST PAPER AWARD
================

The best paper presented in the workshop will be recommended for
fast-track review in the Computer Vision and Image Understanding
journal.
