Abstract

We present a system for food recognition based on artificial intelligence (AI) to classify food images into categories that can help in diet monitoring, health check, and automated meal logging. The solution employed a machine learning approach and a large dataset of food images, comparing two models in terms of performance: Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score were calculated to measure the performance of the models. To address this, a web-based user interface was designed to allow users to classify food images in real time and provide feedback, proving the system's effectiveness and userfriendliness.
