There is provided a computer-implemented method for performing image-based dish recognition. The method includes acquiring a first image depicting a dish to be recognized, analyzing the first image using a predictive model to determine a first candidate theme, and acquiring a reference set of dish identifiers. The method further includes calculating, for each of the dish identifiers in the reference set, an association score indicative of a degree of similarity between the dish represented by the respective dish identifier and the first candidate theme, selecting one or more dish identifiers in the reference set having the highest association scores as one or more variant dish identifiers of the first candidate theme, and outputting a centroid dish identifier of the first candidate theme and the one or more variant dish identifiers of the first candidate theme.

A computer-implemented method for determining a scaled cooking time for operating a cooking apparatus includes acquiring a recipe having information associated with one or more food ingredients, a recipe serving size, and a recipe cooking time, and acquiring a target serving size. The method further includes determining a recipe scale factor based on the target serving size and the recipe serving size, determining a main food ingredient from the one or more food ingredients, and determining whether an amount of overlap of the main food ingredient in a receptacle of the cooking apparatus exceeds a predetermined threshold. If it is determined that the amount of overlap of the main food ingredient exceeds the predetermined threshold, then the scaled cooking time corresponding to the target serving size is determined based on the recipe scale factor and the recipe cooking time.

System and method for determining a cooking time

Provided is a domestic kitchen apparatus including a food chamber for receiving food. The domestic kitchen apparatus includes an optical range sensor for optical range sensing. The optical range sensor has at least one optical sensing element. The domestic kitchen apparatus further includes, as a separate component provided in addition to the optical range sensor, a reflector assembly. The reflector assembly reflects light directed from the food received in the food chamber onto the at least one optical sensing element.
