Food Recognition and Leftover Estimation for Daily Diet Monitoring

Here we propose a system for automatic dietary monitoring of canteen customers based on robust computer vision techniques. The proposed system recognizes foods and estimates food leftovers. Results achieved on 1000 customers of a real canteen are promising.
