A HYBRID DEEP LEARNING AND MACHINE LEARNING FRAMEWORK FOR FOOD RESHNESS AND SPOILAGE DETECTION USING MOBILENETV2 AND IMAGE SEGMENTATION
Identifying food degradation has pinpoint the precise areas impacted by become essential for maintaining supply chain quality, reducing waste, and ensuring food safety. Traditional freshness assessment techniques are primarily based on manual inspection, which is often inaccurate, time consuming, and unreliable. The automated food freshness assessment approach proposed in this paper integrates deep learning– based feature extraction, machine learning classification, and image segmentation techniques. The proposed method determines food quality using a logistic regression classifier and extracts high-level visual features through a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN). In addition, a spoilage analysis module employs pixel-level evaluation to identify affected regions and estimate the severity level. Experimental results indicate that the system is suitable for real- time automated food monitoring applications, as it effectively visualizes spoiled areas while achieving high classification accuracy.
