Description

Maintaining blood sugar under control requires eating a healthy and balanced diet, exercising, and adhering to medications. Dietary consumption must be under strict control for diabetic patients’ general health. Traditional techniques for monitoring dietary consumption include recollection and manual record-keeping, which can be tedious and prone to mistakes. However, automated technologies for maintaining records that make use of computer vision, such as food image recognition systems, can streamline chronic health management for diabetics. These solutions seek to efficiently track daily food intake and consequential calories to facilitate and encourage lifestyle improvements. With this goal in mind, we design a Machine Learning model that can recognize/classify food categories and estimate the corresponding volume and calorific content from picture(s) of an upcoming meal, which would help users assess the effect of the intake on their blood sugar levels.
