Restaurant dishes represent a significant portion of food that people consume in their daily life. While people are becoming healthconscious in their food intake, convenient restaurant food tracking becomes an essential task in wellness and fitness applications. Given the huge number of dishes (food categories) involved, it becomes extremely challenging for traditional food photo classification to be feasible in both algorithm design and training data availability. In this work, we present a demo that runs on restaurant dish images in a city of millions of residents and tens of thousand restaurants. We propose a rank-loss based convolutional neural network to …
