Abstract(in English) This report studies a method for predicting the attractiveness of a food photo in order to assist a user to shoot attractive food photos. The proposed method extracts both color features and shape features from the food images, and then integrates them according to a regression scheme in order to predict the attractiveness of an unknown food photo. We created image datasets of food photos taken from various 3D-angles, and set a target value of the attractiveness for each food photo by subjective experiment results. We analyzed the effectiveness and the generalization performance of the proposed method by experimental results, and showed the effectiveness of switching the predictor for each food category.
