Abstract

This project aims to provide an automated system for accurately estimating the calorie content of food and beverages using advanced deep learning algorithms. With the increasing demand for health-conscious individuals, there is a need for a reliable, efficient, and easy-to-use tool that can help users make informed dietary choices. The project utilizes image processing techniques and deep learning models, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), to analyze food images and predict the corresponding calorie content. The system works by first capturing an image of the food or beverage, which is then processed and passed through a pre-trained deep learning model. The model is trained on a large dataset containing images of various food items along with their nutritional information. After preprocessing the input image, the model classifies the food and estimates the calorie count by leveraging its learned features. The estimated calorie value is then displayed to the user in real-time. This project leverages key technologies, including image recognition, deep learning, and nutrition analysis. It is designed to be integrated into mobile applications or web platforms, allowing users to track their daily caloric intake efficiently. The system's accuracy is continuously improved through training on a diverse dataset, ensuring reliable calorie estimation across different food items. This tool has the potential to revolutionize personal health management by promoting healthier eating habits.
