  • Im2calories is believed to use a combination of image recognition and comparative analysis to identify different foods from the images. It will "measure" the depth of each pixel in the image and compare it with a huge database of nutritional information stored on the servers. It will also measure the size of the food by measuring it against the size of the plate.
    However, the recognition is not totally perfect as of now. It has been observed to go wrong by around 20%.
