Pic2Recipe Functionality
- Pic2Recipe translates food images into recipes.
- It differs from reverse image search by directly linking images to recipes, not just similar images.
Sweet Potato Casserole Example
- A sweet potato casserole image is analyzed by identifying ingredients like sweet potatoes and marshmallows.
- The model also recognizes preparation methods, like baking, based on the presence of a pan.
Hidden Ingredient Challenge
- Hidden ingredients in dishes like lasagna pose a challenge for food recognition.
- The model infers the dish type but might struggle with specifics like meat or vegetarian variations.
