AI-Powered Freshness Detection and Shelf Life
Prediction System For Food Items Using Image
Processing.
ABSTRACT
Food spoilage is a widespread issue that leads to significant food waste,
environmental impact, and financial loss. One of the key challenges in minimizing food waste is the inability to accurately assess the freshness of perishable food items. This project aims to create an AI-powered system that uses advanced image processing techniques to evaluate the freshness of various food items, including fruits, vegetables, and meats. By analyzing visual features such as color, texture, and surface patterns, the system generates a freshness score that indicates the quality of the food and estimates its remaining shelf life. Leveraging deep learning models like InceptionV3, the system is trained to classify food items and assess their freshness with high accuracy, making it suitable for everyday use. Users can easily upload images of their food through a mobile application, where the AI model will process the images in real time and provide a detailed freshness evaluation. The system not only helps users understand the current state of their food but also allows them to track the freshness of items over time. This solution aims to empower consumers to make informed decisions about food consumption and reduce food waste by alerting them when items are nearing spoilage. By offering a simple, user-friendly interface, the system makes freshness evaluation accessible to anyone with a smartphone, encouraging better food management practices and contributing to more sustainable consumption.
