Abstract(in English) In our previous research, we proposed a method for estimating the attractiveness of a food photo in order to assist a user to shoot attractive food photos. In this report, the proposed method extracts image features that reflect the appearance of the main ingredient and the impression of photos, and then integrates them by a regression scheme. By this way, the proposed method estimates the attractiveness of an arbitrary food photo. Experimental results showed that the color distribution of food, three-dimensional appearance of food, and the orientation of its ingredients were effective for attractiveness estimation. Also, we confirmed the effectiveness of integrating image features considering both the impression of photos and the appearance of the main ingredient.
