Popis: Maintaining health and fitness through a balanced diet is essential for preventing non communicable diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. NutriVision combines smart healthcare with computer vision and machine learning to address the challenges of nutrition and dietary management. This paper introduces a novel system that can identify food items, estimate quantities, and provide comprehensive nutritional information. NutriVision employs the Faster Region based Convolutional Neural Network, a deep learning algorithm that improves object detection by generating region proposals and then classifying those regions, making it highly effective for accurate and fast food identification even in complex and disorganized meal settings. Through smartphone based image capture, NutriVision delivers instant nutritional data, including macronutrient breakdown, calorie count, and micronutrient details. One of the standout features of NutriVision is its personalized nutritional analysis and diet recommendations, which are tailored to each user's dietary preferences, nutritional needs, and health history. By providing customized advice, NutriVision helps users achieve specific health and fitness goals, such as managing dietary restrictions or controlling weight. In addition to offering precise food detection and nutritional assessment, NutriVision supports smarter dietary decisions by integrating user data with recommendations that promote a balanced, healthful diet. This system presents a practical and advanced solution for nutrition management and has the potential to significantly influence how people approach their dietary choices, promoting healthier eating habits and overall well being. This paper discusses the design, performance evaluation, and prospective applications of the NutriVision system.
