Telling Oil Temperature for Frying from Audio and Video Signals Based on Multimodal Learning
摘要
The paper investigates the classification of oil temperature ranges during the frying process through the utilization of audio and video modalities, as well as their fusion. Data was collected in a kitchen, using smartphone audio and video sensors. Wet chopsticks were used as a controlled stimulus to cause a bubble production in the hot oil, with temperatures ranging from 140 to 240 \(^\circ \) C in 10 \(^\circ \) C increments. Corresponding data were recorded at each temperature interval. Pre-processing of the collected audio and video data was performed to eliminate irrelevant information, facilitating the training of a deep learning model. The findings highlight the significance of bubbles, including their number and size, as main features for classification, with a more significant presence of numerous and more giant bubbles observed at higher temperatures. Ultimately, the study demonstrates that the accuracy of audio and video-only modalities can be enhanced by applying multimodal learning techniques.
