Abstract(in English) Type 1 diabetes patients, whoes body doesn't produce enough inslin to control their blood glucose levels, estimate the amount of glucose contained in their meals by seeing, and take inslin by injection. This estimation, called Carbohydrate Counting, that has to be done carefully at every meal, is the hard task for diabetes patients and the families of young patients. This work proposes a system that outputs carbohydrate estimation from a meal image as input, aiming to provide the simple way of carbohydrate counting. We estimate the amount of carbohydrate by regression from the food area image, which is obtained by labeling input meal image pixelwise using semantic segmentation method of deep learning. The experiments show that the regression from white rice area, that is the major elementof carbohydrate counting, almost achieves the target accuracy(within 20% errors).
