• Title: Self-Supervised Visual Representation Learning on Food Images
• Authors: Andrew Peng, Jiangpeng He, Fengqing Zhu
• Abstract summary: Existing deep learning-based methods learn the visual representation for downstream tasks based on human annotation of each food image. Most food images in real life are obtained without labels, and data annotation requires plenty of time and human effort. In this paper, we focus on the implementation and analysis of existing representative self-supervised learning methods on food images.

• Abstract: Food image analysis is the groundwork for image-based dietary assessment, which is the process of monitoring what kinds of food and how much energy is consumed using captured food or eating scene images. Existing deep learning-based methods learn the visual representation for downstream tasks based on human annotation of each food image. However, most food images in real life are obtained without labels, and data annotation requires plenty of time and human effort, which is not feasible for real-world applications. To make use of the vast amount of unlabeled images, many existing works focus on unsupervised or self-supervised learning of visual representations directly from unlabeled data. However, none of these existing works focus on food images, which is more challenging than general objects due to its high inter-class similarity and intra-class variance. In this paper, we focus on the implementation and analysis of existing representative self-supervised learning methods on food images. Specifically, we first compare the performance of six selected self-supervised learning models on the Food-101 dataset. Then we analyze the pros and cons of each selected model when training on food data to identify the key factors that can help improve the performance. Finally, we propose several ideas for future work on self-supervised visual representation learning for food images.

  Food image segmentation is an important task that has ubiquitous applications, such as estimating the nutritional value of a plate of food. One challenge is that food items can overlap and mix, making them difficult to distinguish. Two models are trained and compared, one based on convolutional neural networks and the other on Bidirectional representation for Image Transformers (BEiT) The BEiT model outperforms the previous state-of-the-art model by achieving a mean intersection over union of 49.4 on FoodSeg103.
