Abstract

Methods and apparatus for identifying health trends via the identification of ambiguous food items via container identification may be provided by: receiving an image captured from a user device that includes a food item; identifying a food container present in the image; identifying a utensil present in the image; determining a cluster of food items from a food recognition database corresponding to the food container and to the utensil; selecting a candidate food item from the cluster based on a confidence score of the candidate food item matching the food item; and adding the candidate food item to a dietary log associated with the user device.
