This week I looked into the Google Cloud Vision API that we planned to use for the image recognition part. By testing on the API with different images of perishables, I believe that the API will be reliable on photos that we take for real food, as it provides high accuracy on the type of food and precision on the amount. Some example results of oranges are the following.
I think the progress is on schedule, and for the next week, I am planning to research more about the past works on recipe recommendation systems or other recommendation systems based on few features(restriction on recipes, number of people). Also, I will work with my team on the design review presentation.
