In one embodiment, a method includes accessing an initial image and applying each image filter from a set of one or more N image filters to the initial image to create N filtered images. The method further includes generating a similarity metric for each pair of images in a set of images comprising the initial image and the N filtered images and determining, based on the similarity metrics, a placement of each image in the set of images within an image-filter space. The method further includes generating, based on the image-filter space, a selectable image-filter interface; and providing the selectable image-filter interface for display, wherein each selectable region of the selectable image-filter interface is associated with a particular filtering of the initial image.

In one embodiment, a method for monitoring a kitchen environment by a smart hood includes accessing sensor data indicating parameters of a cooking utensil detected by the smart hood apparatus from sensors of the smart hood apparatus, wherein the sensors comprise one or more of a camera, a thermal sensor, an audio sensor, or an air particle sensor, determining occupancy information associated with the cooking utensil based on the sensor data by algorithms, wherein the occupancy information indicates whether the cooking utensil is placed within an allowable deviation from a target location on a cooktop, determining a thermal state of an accessory associated with the cooking utensil based on the sensor data by the algorithms, and sending instructions for presenting the occupancy information associated with the cooking utensil and the thermal state of the accessory.
