Meet Foodvisor, a startup that has built a mobile app that helps you log everything you eat in order to lose weight, follow a diet or get healthier. You can add data by capturing a photo of your plate before you eat.
初创公司Foodvisor开发了一款手机应用程序，它可以帮忙记录下你为了减肥、节食或变得更健康而吃下的所有东西。在你吃东西之前拍一下盘子里的食物，就能添加数据。
“We’ve spent a little over two years doing research and development before we launched the app in 2018 in France,” co|founder and CMO Aurore Tran told me. Foodvisor has raised $1.5 million so far .
该公司联合开创者兼首席营销官奥罗拉·德兰告诉我：“大家用了两年多的时间进行研发，之后于2018年在法国推出了这款应用。”现在Foodvisor已获得了150万USD的筹资。
The company is using deep learning to enable image recognition to detect what you’re about to eat. In addition to identifying the type of food, the app tries to estimate the weight of each item.
该公司通过深度学习技术，借助图像辨别来测试你要吃的食物。除去辨别食品类型，该应用程序还会尝试估算每种食物的重量。
Foodvisor tries to evaluate the distance between your plate and your phone using camera autofocus data. It then calculates the area of each food item. The company then tries to extrapolate the volume of each item depending on the type of food.
Foodvisor尝试用相机的自动对焦数据来估算你的盘子和手机之间的距离，然后计算每种食物的面积。之后，该公司尝试依据食物类型来判断每种食物的分量。
And of course, if Foodvisor got something wrong, you can manually correct it before you log your meal. Many people give up on nutrition trackers because it’s too demanding. Foodvisor’s technology is all about making the data entry process as seamless as possible.
当然，假如Foodvisor搞错了，你可以在它载入记录之前手工更正。很多人舍弃了营养追踪，由于它需要太高。Foodvisor的技术就是尝试尽量完美地达成数据输入。
After that, you get a list of nutrition facts about what you just ate — calories, proteins, carbs, fats, fibers, etc. You can then set a goal, log activities and monitor your progress over time.
在那之后，你会得到一份你刚吃下的食物的营养价值表，其中包含卡路里、蛋白质、碳水化合物、脂肪、纤维等。然后你就能设定一个目的，记录你的活动并监控你的进度。
