💡 Best Practices

Image Quality Tips

✅ Optimal Images:

High resolution (>300px)
Well-lit and focused
Food fills 70%+ of frame
Single dish per image
Minimal background clutter

❌ Avoid:

Blurry or dark images
Multiple different foods
Extreme close-ups
Heavy filters/editing

Performance Optimization

Model uses torch.no_grad() for inference
Automatic memory cleanup after each prediction
GPU memory management with torch.cuda.empty_cache()
Image preprocessing with quality enhancement
