Abstract

With global intelligence advancing and the awareness of sustainable development growing, artificial intelligence technology is increasingly being applied to the food industry. This paper, grounded in practical application cases, reviews the current research status and prospects of machine vision-based image recognition technology in food computing. It explores the general workflow of image recognition, applications based on traditional machine learning and deep learning methods. The paper covers areas including food safety detection, dietary nutrition analysis, process monitoring, and enterprise management model optimization. The aim is to provide a solid theoretical foundation and technical guidance for the integration and cross-fertilization of the food industry with artificial intelligence technology.
