SAM AI Computer Vision Project

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Smart Inventory Management: The SAM AI model can be used in retail or warehouse environments to keep track of inventory. By using computer vision to identify the unique food classes on shelves, it can provide real-time updates on stock levels, helping to plan re-stocking and manage inventory more efficiently.

2. Enhanced Shopping Experience: Online retailers or grocery delivery apps could leverage SAM AI model to augment product discovery and automate the process of adding items to an online basket. For example, customers could submit a photo of their fridge or pantry, and the model would identify the food classes and suggest purchases based on what's missing or running low.

3. Food Waste Reduction: The model could be implemented in households or restaurants to keep track of the food stored. By identifying what foods are present, it could help to plan meals more efficiently, potentially proposing recipes based on available food and thus contributing to reducing food waste.

4. Diet and Nutrition Apps: Diet and nutrition apps could use the SAM AI model to help users log what they're eating more accurately. Users could simply take a picture of their meal, and the model would identify the food classes present, helping the app to calculate nutritional information.

5. Cooking and Recipe Apps: Cooking apps could use the model to suggest recipes based on the ingredients a user already has. The user could take a picture of their pantry or fridge, and the app could identify the foods available and propose recipes accordingly.
