A Survey on Food Recognition and Nutrients Identification for Classification of Healthy Food

Image Processing

Food Recognition system plays an important role in this modern day life. Accurate methods to measure food and energy intake by humans are important for the battle against obesity. High calorie intake in the human body has proved harmful leading to several diseases. To identify food items accurately in such system, image processing is used. Image processing techniques like image segmentation, feature extraction, object recognition, classification is used for food recognition and nutrients identification. For identifying the food items from the image the Artificial neural network method is used. Image classifiers are trained to identify and categorize individual food items on a plate from a single image. After food recognition the nutrients in the food will be identified and based on nutrients content the classification of healthy food items will be done.
