Food Auditor: Precision Nutrition Tracking and Dietary Optimization
摘要
Food auditor is an upcoming online tool intended to help people keep track of the nutritional value of the food that they consume. Users can enter input on food taken and the program offers a brief assessment of the macronutrients and micronutrients taken for better choices to be made. It includes customizable personal goals regarding diets and the opportunity to monitor their progress using graphs. One of the prominent features under construction is the means of applying both the technologies of Computer Vision and AI to automatically extract nutrition information by reading the labels and nutritional information on the packaging. It is intended to minimize data input, increase the accuracy of the input, and to improve the usability of the system for the user. Subsequently as the project unfolds, the platform will slowly incorporate higher levels of functionality where it will grow to become an effective tool for advocating for healthier eating habits based on real time nutritional information.
