We describe the design and implementation of a smartwatch-based, completely unobtrusive, food journaling system, where the smartwatch helps to intelligently capture useful images of food that an individual consumes throughout the day. The overall system, called Annapurna, is based on three key components: (a) a smartwatch-based gesture recognizer to identify eating gestures, (b) a smartwatch-based image capturer that obtains a small set of relevant and useful images with a low energy overhead, and (c) a server-based image filtering engine that removes irrelevant uploaded images, and then catalogs them through a portal. Our primary challenge is to make the system robust …

The paper explores the possibility of using wrist-worn devices (specifically, a smartwatch) to accurately track the hand movement and gestures for a new class of immersive, interactive gesture-driven applications. These interactive applications need two special features: (a) the ability to identify gestures from a continuous stream of sensor data early–i.e., even before the gesture is complete, and (b) the ability to precisely track the hand’s trajectory, even though the underlying inertial sensor data is noisy. We develop a new approach that tackles these requirements by first building a HMM-based gesture recognition framework that does not need an explicit segmentation step, …
