Probably only 20% of the world's hot dogs are just a basic hot dog with mustard on it. Once you move past one or two condiments, the domain of hot dogs identification along with fixings gets confusing from a computer vision standpoint.
Pinterest's similar images function is able to identify hotdogs with single condiments fairly well:

They appear to be using deep CNN's.

Having embedded tensorflow for on-site identification is all well and good for immediacy and cost, but if I can't really properly identify whether something is a hotdog vs. a long skinny thing with a mustard squiggle, what good does that do me? What would be the next step up in your mind?
I ask this as someone who is sincerely interested in building low cost, fun, projects.

- timanglade 9y agoIt’s fair, as I mention in the blogpost there are some failures that are a bit obvious for sure. Mostly I think I tried to fit too many things into one “hotdog” category including chili dogs, chicago dogs, bunless hotdogs, cut up hotdogs, even octopus-cut hotdogs, etc. I think it caused the network to over-generalize on shapes & colors. Definitely would do things differently next time! And great work on the puns :)
