Abstract:Cooking skill plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy diet and also greatly impacts the lifestyle of an individual. Culinary knife skill is one of the important skills when it comes to cooking, which enables you to work faster, making you much more efficient in the kitchen. This thesis work deals with the cooking behavior analysis from the perspective of objective analysis of cutting skills using pressure sensor on a cutting board. Classification of the culinary cutting technique is based on the features which are extracted from the time-series signals collected from a pressure sensor attached to a cutting board. Unsupervised learning methods are explored for classifying the skill level of the participant and cutting technique. The results show that PCA based k-means clustering technique produced an accuracy of 94% in differentiating the cutting skill level and 69% in differentiating the cutting techniques. T-SNE based K-means clustering technique produced an accuracy of 96% in differentiating the cutting skill level and 84% in differentiating the cutting techniques. These results are very promising for practical activity recognition based applications in analyzing cooking skills.
