We create a new dataset composed of 120,000 images of 50 diverse food categories. The images are accurately annotated with pixel-wise annotations. The dataset is augmented with the same 5,000 images but rendered under different acquisition distortions that comprise illuminant change, JPEG compression, Gaussian noise, and Gaussian blur.
