DeepFoodCam: A DCNN-based Real-time Mobile Food Recognition System

Abstract

Due to the recent progress of the studies on deep learning, deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) based methods have outperformed conventional methods with a large margin. Therefore, DCNN-based recognition should be introduced into mobile object recognition. However, since DCNN computation is usually performed on GPU-equipped PCs, it is not easy for mobile devices where memory and computational power is limited.
