Computer vision to analyse nutrition

Hi all,

I’m looking for a model that can receive a photo of a food as input, and return its nutrition data as output, which is: amount of calories, carbs, fat and protein.

Does such a model exist?

Basically something like this: myfoodrepo.org (it’s only for researchers, so I don’t have access to its model).

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Shayan

Hi. I don’t know a model, but you can build one using YOLO for image recognition, and getting the nutrition info from some database (I think there is an API for this).

Thank you! I’ll check out the YOLO.

Indeed there’s an API for nutrition info: https://www.foodrepo.org

Great!

I also just checked a new model from OpenAI called CLIP. I didn’t test it, but it says it works without training… Maybe you can give it a try.

At least some investors think this is a tractable problem
