Call For Papers (apologies for multiple copies)
===================================================

The 5th International Workshop on Multimedia Assisted Dietary Management
(MADiMa2019) is organized in conjunction with the 27th ACM International
Conference on Multimedia (ACMMM2019).

Website: www.madima.org
Place: Nice, France
Date: Oct 21st or 25th 2019
Submission Deadline: 8th July 2019

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
=====
MADiMa2019 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
