However bad these algorithms are (and we're talking very wide intervals in multiple dimensions of uncertainty), you could immediately improve the vision/volume calculation part with a modest change - like requiring a size reference. "Place a unit of currency next to the plate, then take at least two photos of the plate from different angles" can get you pretty close to an accurate volume.
If they aren't doing even that much, then they're not very interested in accuracy at all.
- jonplackett 1y agoThe problem is, if you are serious about losing weight, you need to ideally aim for something like a 300 calorie deficit. Much more and you’ll feel shit, a lot less and it’ll be quite slow or go the other way. It’s quite a fine margin and even tracking using bar codes you’re not going to be perfect. But even more important - you really gotta track your macros if you want it to work well - and again also not feel crap. There is no way in hell an AI camera is tracking macros well
