Abstract(in English) We report the results of quantitative analysis on how the composition of food ingredients affects the attractiveness of food photography. We have been focusing on some photography parameters and have proposed a method for attractiveness estimation for food photography by integrating multiple image features. It estimated the attractiveness based on regression analysis using image features as explanatory variables and attractiveness as an objective variable. Although we confirmed its effectiveness for attractiveness estimation, we considered that it is necessary to introduce image features that evaluate the composition of ingredients for more accurate estimation, because they should significantly affect the attractiveness of food photography. Thus, we analyzed how the attractiveness is affected by understanding the composition of food ingredients through subjective experiments. We also investigated how it affects the performance of our method in the estimation accuracy, and studied the image features for attractiveness estimation.
