Abstract:

The number of diabetic patients are increasing worldwide. Increasing calorie expenditure is one of the methods to prevent diabetes. Measuring the current calorie expenditure can improve awareness in daily life and help increase calorie expenditure. Conventional research has estimated calorie expenditure using an acceleration sensor. However, in contact sensors such as acceleration sensors, the estimation accuracy changes with the mounting position. Therefore, we aim to estimate calorie expenditure using non-contact sensors that do not need to be worn by the user. In this study, we conducted experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of estimating calorie expenditure using a 3D range image sensor, which is a non-contact sensor. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by the results of the evaluation.
