I am interested to create Apps for Android to identify the authenticity of food by image processing. I wonder if anyone is aware of similar ideas or how to start coding. Is it possible to install Matlab's IP toolbox on such phones or tablets?
There are articles which say that up to 60% of sushi is mislabeled. I believe the current verification is DNA based, but I would bet a good fish monger could tell most of the time just by looking. Image quality/consistency would probably be a huge impediment for mobile devices, but otherwise it seems like a pretty standard image classification problem.
I saw some papers in Computers and Electronics in Agriculture journal published during 2012-2013. This is an state-of-the-art technology attracting some researchers to develop APPs for Aro-Food sector. Since it is new in Agro-Food technology, I suggest to search for documents with similar applications in industry.
