NEURAL NETWORK SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHODS FOR IDENTIFICATION AND / OR EVALUATION OF ONE OR MORE FOOD PRODUCTS IN VISUAL INPUT INFORMATION

摘要

In some embodiments, the present invention provides for an exemplary inventive convolutional neural network-based and computer-implemented method for identifying and evaluating pizza, including: collecting video input representative of the food and received from at least one camera, applying a first CNN to select, from the video input, a set of best pizza containing video frames of a particular pizza from the plurality of pizza containing video frames; applying the first CNN to identify a best pizza containing image from the set, to localize at least one pizza portion of the particular pizza in the identified best pizza containing image, and to determine a type of the pizza of the particular pizza from the identified best pizza containing image; applying a second CNN to determine a map of pizza components of the particular pizza by automatically performing pizza image segmentation and to automatically score the particular pizza based on the determined map of pizza components.
