A bit more Wine, Please: Germany
Again a disappointing performance. On the positive side, Amazon Rekognition did correctly label “Alcohol”, which is great because of alcohol’s sensitive nature in some contexts.

Interim Conclusion #1: Image Recognition Systems Disappoint on images of Food
For the project Recognizing Food from Around the World, I’m testing images of food from around the world on four of the most popular image recognition systems. During this project, I’m trying to figure out how well these systems (1) work on real life, original images and (2) how well these systems interpret nuances between cultures […]
There’s more than Rice: Malaysia
Overall, the systems’ performances were very disappointing. Object detection was not able to accurately detect any part of a meal.
Where are the Chopsticks? Vietnam
Object detection failed miserably across all four systems. Labeling worked slightly better, though not great either.
Finally some good Curry: Myanmar
Overall, the systems performed poorly though they labeled “Rice” right (except for IBM Watson).
Of course there’s Beer: Belgium
None of the meals were fully detected nor labeled. Amazon Rekognition was the only system to provide two meals with almost all necessary labels.

USA
Lunch– New York “Everything” Bagel– Tomato Vegetable soup This is a typical New York Bagel and some soup. We’ve ordered it from this place just 5 minutes or so around the corner from here.
Yemen
Yemeni Lunch رز (roz/rice) دجاج (digag/chicken)خضروات (khadrawat/vegetables)صانونه (Sanunah/vegetable sauce) This is a simple meal, nothing too fancy, but very typical in the Southern part of Yemen. Cooked fresh by my mother, so it’s a home cooked meal.
Germany
German Dinner– Minestrone mit Pesto und Oliven (Minestrone with Pesto and Olives)– Italienischer Wein (Italian wine) Well, this actually isn’t German food at all, but I don’t know a lot of people who really eat typical German food all the time. Except for my 82 year old grandmother, she still does. But a lot of […]
