Food-475 Database

Food-475 database is one of the largest publicly available food database with 475 food classes and 247,636 images obtained by merging four publicly available food databases. The Food-475 Dataset is a refinement of the Food524DB [1] composite database obtained by sematically merging equivalent food classes of the four food datasets: UECFOOD256 [2], VIREO [3], Food-101 [4], and Food-50 [5].
