Abstract: A method for processing images of an appliance includes capturing, via an imaging device, an image of a cavity of the appliance. The method further includes identifying a support member in the cavity based on the image via a processor in communication with the imaging device. The support member is configured to support an object thereon. The method further includes calculating a histogram of gradients based on the image via the processor. The method further includes receiving dimensional data of the appliance. The method further includes comparing the histogram of gradients to the dimensional data. The method further includes determining a position of the support member based on the comparison of the histogram of gradients to the dimensional data.

Abstract: A method (110) for operating a cooking appliance (10) includes receiving data (16) from an image sensor (14) operably associated with a food-receiving area (12) of the cooking appliance (10), the data (16) comprising an image (24) of a food product (F), determining whether the image (24) of the food product (F) corresponds with one of a plurality of known food product types accessible by the cooking appliance (10) based on an analysis of the image (24) of the food product using an identification model (31), and in response to the image (24) of the food product (F) not corresponding with any one of the plurality of known food product types, designating the image (24) of the food product (F) as a new food product type and causing the new food product type to be added to the plurality of known food product types accessible by the cooking appliance without retraining the identification model (31).
