Ever wondered how CalorIA estimates calories and macronutrients on your plate using just one picture? Let's take a look under the hood.
👁️ Advanced Computer Vision
When you snap a food photo, it is analyzed by deep learning neural networks. The AI detects the types of food (e.g., brown rice, chicken fillet, avocado) and estimates the 3D volume of each component.
📊 Nutrition Database Mapping
Based on the volume estimate, the AI converts the portion size into approximate weight and cross-references it with verified nutritional databases to deliver macros and calorie counts in milliseconds.
