[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0036] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the embodiment of the utility model is described in detail below.

[0037] Embodiment 1:

[0038] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an automatic cooking system based on image recognition provided in Example 1 of the utility model.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 The system comprises: an image acquisition device 1, an image processing device 2, a recognition device 3 and a display device 4; the image acquisition device 1, the image processing device 2, the recognition device 3 and the display device 4 are connected in sequence;

[0040] The image acquisition device 1 is used to acquire video images during the relative movement between the food and the food, and send the video images to the image processing device 2;

[0041] The image processing device 2 is used to receive the video image sent by the image acquisition device 1, convert the video image into a picture, obtain a processed image, and send the processed image to the recognition device 3;

[0042] The recognition device 3 is used to compare the processed image with the food image pre-stored in the database, recognize the type of food, and send the type of food to the display device 4;

[0043] The display device 4 is used to receive the type of food sent by the identification device 3, and display the type of food and the corresponding cooking information in the database.

[0044] Specifically, the image processing device 2 converts the video image into a picture to obtain a processed image. The implementation process is as follows: 1) Video decoding: First, the recorded video image needs to be decoded. The video stream is usually encoded in a compression format (such as MPEG, AVC, HEVC, etc.), which can reduce the size of the video file for easy storage and transmission. Decoding the video stream requires a decoder to convert these compressed data into original image data. 2) Frame extraction: On the basis of decoding, extract individual frames, that is, static images; each frame represents a frame in the video. 3) Select the images to be spliced, which should have some correlation and similarity to facilitate splicing. For example, they may be a set of images with continuous viewing angles, or images of the same scene from different angles. 4) Image preprocessing: Preprocess each image to prepare for splicing. Preprocessing may include image enhancement, noise reduction, image registration, etc. The purpose of this step is to make all images have consistent scale and contrast before splicing. 5) Feature extraction: Feature extraction is performed on each image to identify key points in the image. These key points can be edges, corners, spots, etc. Feature extraction can be achieved using various algorithms, such as SIFT, SURF, ORB, etc. 6) Keypoint matching: Find matching key points in each image. This can be done by calculating the similarity between key points. Once the matching key points are found, they can be connected to form a global correspondence table. 7) Geometric transformation: Based on the matching results of the key points, each image is geometrically transformed to align them. This may include rotation, translation, scaling, etc. Geometric transformation can be achieved using various algorithms, such as homography transformation, projection transformation, etc. 8) Image fusion: The geometrically transformed images are fused into a larger image. This can be done using various image fusion techniques, such as pixel-based fusion, region-based fusion, multi-scale fusion, etc. 9) Post-processing: The fused image is post-processed to optimize the quality of the image. This may include color adjustment, contrast enhancement, sharpening, etc. 10) Image output: The synthesized image can be output in a specified format, such as saving to a local file or uploading to a server.

[0045] Furthermore, the image acquisition device 1 includes a camera;

[0046] A camera, used to capture video images while adjusting the angle;

[0047] or,

[0048] Capture video images as food moves.

[0049] Specifically, when the camera adjusts its angle to capture video images, the camera is moving; when the camera captures video images as the food moves, both the camera and the food are moving.

[0050] Furthermore, the system also includes a rotating grill device, the image acquisition device is installed on the rotating grill device, and a rotating motor is provided on the rotating grill device;

[0051] The rotary motor is used to rotate the baking tray on which the ingredients are placed in all directions.

[0052] Specifically, the image acquisition device 1 is installed on the rotating grill device. When the rotating motor of the rotating grill device starts to rotate 360 ​​degrees, the image acquisition device acquires the video image of the food. During the rotation process, the image acquisition device records the video image of the food in all directions. The image acquisition device can be a camera.

[0053] Furthermore, the system also includes a pan-tilt platform, and the image acquisition device 1 is arranged on the pan-tilt platform;

[0054] By rotating the pan-tilt platform up, down, left, and right, the image acquisition device can capture video images of the food in all directions.

[0055] Specifically, the image acquisition device 1 is installed at the position farthest from the center of the baking pan, so that the widest angle video image can be captured. The pan / tilt head is controlled to rotate up, down, left, and right, so that the image acquisition device can capture the video image on the entire baking pan.

[0056] Further, the system includes a cooking device;

[0057] The cooking device is used for cooking food according to the cooking information displayed by the display device.

[0058] Further, the system also includes a modification device;

[0059] A modification device, used to obtain modification information input by a user and modify the cooking process according to the modification information;

[0060] The modified information includes the modified heating time and the modified heating temperature.

[0061] Furthermore, the cooking device is also used to cook the ingredients according to the modified heating time and the modified heating temperature.

[0062] The present application uses image recognition technology to automatically identify the type of food and automatically cook according to the type of food and the corresponding cooking information in the database. In addition, the user can also modify the cooking process as needed. Therefore, the automatic cooking system of the present application can not only improve the efficiency and accuracy of cooking, but also is suitable for people without specific cooking skills.
