| contents | Many aging individuals encounter challenges in effectively tracking their dietary intake, exacerbating their susceptibility to nutrition-related health complications. Self-reporting methods are often inaccurate and suffer from substantial bias; however, leveraging intelligent prediction methods can automate and enhance precision in this process. Recent work has explored using computer vision prediction systems to predict nutritional information from food images. Still, these methods are often tailored to specific situations, require other inputs in addition to a food image, or do not provide comprehensive nutritional information.
This paper aims to enhance the efficacy of dietary intake estimation by leveraging various neural network architectures to directly predict a meal's nutritional content from its image. Through comprehensive experimentation and evaluation, we present NutritionVerse-Direct, a model utilizing a vision transformer base architecture with three fully connected layers that lead to five regression heads predicting calories (kcal), mass (g), protein (g), fat (g), and carbohydrates (g) present in a meal. NutritionVerse-Direct yields a combined mean average error score on the NutritionVerse-Real dataset of 412.6, an improvement of 25.5% over the Inception-ResNet model, demonstrating its potential for improving dietary intake estimation accuracy. |
