Abstract

This study aims to develop an image-based food classification application integrated with nutritional information retrieval using a deep learning approach. The proposed system is designed to recognize food types from images and provide nutritional information based on an Indonesian food nutrition database. The method involves collecting a dataset of 8,248 images representing 38 categories of Indonesian traditional foods, performing image preprocessing and data augmentation, and developing a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model based on the MobileNetV2 architecture through transfer learning. Model performance was evaluated using a 3-fold stratified cross-validation strategy and measured using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. Experimental results showed that the proposed model achieved average accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score values of 98.85%, 98.88%, 98.85%, and 98.85%, respectively, demonstrating robust and consistent classification performance across the validation folds. The trained model was subsequently deployed into a mobile application using TensorFlow Lite to support real-time food classification and nutritional information presentation. The main contribution of this study is the development of an end-to-end mobile system that integrates deep learning-based food classification with an Indonesian food nutrition database, enabling users to obtain calorie, protein, fat, and carbohydrate information quickly and conveniently for dietary monitoring and health awareness.
