Food is an important part of life. Just about everyone in the world eats food but do not understand the nutritional values and how healthy each food item is. This leads to health problems such as obesity, some cases of diabetes, and in some case heart failure.
Food Scanner is a web-based image processor application that enable users to upload images of food and understand the nutritional value of what they eat. Users will upload images of food and our system will process the image, tell you what it is, and give you nutritional facts of the item. In additional users can look up other foods that are already in our system stored in our database to look for foods they want to learn more about. Users can learn about the calories and nutritional facts such as how much salt, sugar and oils are in a food. In future versions users will be able to receive meal suggestions and cooking tips on how to prepare food they choose to make.
